It felt like this, but in a good way: http://www.blackbirdsf.org/cx/images/1926_fontenay.jpg

Super chaotic, super fun. Keeps you on your toes. It was my favorite race last year. I have to miss it this weekend and I'm not happy about it.

Thanks all. Hope this gives on the fencers.........a push to take a drive / ride out Halsey to Edgefield.
I somewhat remembered people liked it, and this confirms it to be both tough and fun.
Great Pics as well.
I bet a video of this one might be a hoot if it is wet and muddy again.

In Eugene area... I know the Psycho Cross course well and it is really a fun one with plenty of challenges for riders.

So many races. So little time.
Oh yeah. Remember to experience other aspects of life besides bike racing! Or is there anything else?
