Augusta CX - pics and recaps

[dgaddis1]

I had a great time today, big thanks to Ross D and the ACC crew who put on the race! I had a good ride, rode hard, only fell once during the race (and one on a practice lap), finished 10th out of 25 in the CX4 class. Here's some pics. The rest can be found on my facebook here (you don't have to have a FB account to see them). There's 140ish of them....

I saw lots of cameras out today, so post up some pics!

Nate had a bunch of bikes on display.


His new personal bike, on Weds. it didn't have paint on it!

This off camber downhill-into-uphill corner was fast and fun

This might be my favorite picture I took


Chillin'!

Great pics Dustin! What a wonderful day with good people and great weather. I loved being out there with the ACC ladies who all rode strong. Big thanks to Ross for organizing the event and the pep talk before our race. ;o) Wish I could have held onto the lead but I'm tickled that two of us FTFs made the podium. Here's a pic Laddie posted on FB:

Awesome weekend. Convinced me to buy something nice for my wife so she won't complain when the new Kona Jake shows up.

I am so proud of my homies! Becky and Julie were (and always are) beyond impressive. Great job to all who competed.

In the last pic dustin posted, the bald guy with the pony tail is a great accidental pic.

Beckyl and ooliej spent a lot of time preparing for their first cross race. They went to a cross clinic, practiced their mounts and dismounts, barriers, run-ups, and went to several local cross practices. Kim was at the practices, too. I'm quite impressed with their determination to be prepared and race well. They dug deep and raced hard!!! Impressive.

Nice job, Ross and volunteers, on the event. It was quite the success! Love all the pics--there was some hard racing going on and SORBAcsra was well represented by many riders and volunteers!!!

Great pics as always MD! Lots of people had their Game Face on for sure!

[beckyl]

Awesome pics MD!! My facial expressions clearly represent the pain I was in and how deep I had to dig! LOL You really captured the feeling the day....lots of pain and fun.
