Kyle's favorite cross race of the season, not only for the racing but the fun that is had at the race as spectators. This year there was even some fun during Kyle's race. He chose to race single speed this weekend and within that category, they also had the option to race in a Speedo. Yes, that is correct, a swimming Speedo, not the new jammer style, but the original little Speedo that you don't see much of anymore. There are pictures of course!
Saturday brought 40 degree temps and some great racing by all. Kyle was one of four wearing a Speedo. He was 2nd SS overall and 1st place Speedo. After his race we all headed to the hill with some adult beverages and had some fun cheering on the rest of the participants in their races.
Kurt made it down for the races also. His race was right before Kyle's. Not sure of his place, but he did good. Here's a re-mount pic.
The start of SS race and Taylor is stuck in the middle of the Speedo's!
The 4th Speedo (not pictured) was a guy in the Master's category and he raced on a Surly Pugsly!
Here he is...Kyle in a Speedo! I at first tried to talk him out of it, but I knew no matter what I said, he was going to do it anyway. I even tried to make Jingle Bells for his chest, but he has too much hair and they wouldn't stick!
Taylor was a little tired, can you tell by his face?
He did good for being sick just a couple weeks prior.
Another Speedo shot...check out that tan line! The mark of a true cyclist!
Sunday brought 32 degree temps and snow!! Kyle opted to save his skin and not risk the possibility of crashing and tearing himself up in a Speedo, not to mention the bitter cold! There was one Speedo participant, but I don't know who it was.
Kyle again placed 2nd overall in SS class. A great weekend of racing for him!
Kurt making his way up the snowy hill.
Kyle coming down the muddy hill!
Re-mount - the Pterodactyl!
Coming around the fence...thanks for the great shot Beth!
