The week of the Boulder 2014 Cyclocross National Championships was amped. Juniors grinned ear to ear or scoped the course seriously with their headphones blocking distractions. Masters over 70 sharpened their elbows to contend for stars and stripes. I took it all in with pleasure and the pride of getting to show off something you love at its best.
The Boulder Cup is the biggest cyclocross race of the season in Boulder each year, and it's held at our Valmont Park venue that will host the cyclocross national championships in January. Lennard had a great ride and got third place behind winner Karl Kiester and runner-up Russell Thorstrom.
I got my first win at Valmont Bike Park on Saturday Nov. 17 in the 55+ cyclocross race. Click here to see more. It was very satisfying to finally win on that course, especially since the course was set way differently than it has been in the past, and it didn't have much in the way of power sections where you could pass other riders, so it did not suit my strengths. I also don't think I had ever beaten Gary Thacker before, the guy who has been dominating this category for the past few years in Colorado and is a former national cyclocross champion. All in all, a very good day in what has been a great season for me. I have four wins and four second places out of ten race starts this season. And in US Gran Prix of Cyclocross races I have two wins (in Ft. Collins, CO) and a 3rd and a 4th place (in Louisville, KY).
