MooseCross continues tomorrow, but here a few comments on Day 1. First of all, apologies to Zac and Weston who both rode well today, but were not around when we took this picture. Tony and I arrived in Victor with light rain falling and scrambled to switch to mud tires. The rain did not continue for long. It left the ups and downs on the grassy hill pretty slick, but actually improved the dirt sections. MooseCross is a cyclocross event without parallel in Southeastern Idaho. Every field is deep, fast, and competitive, including the women’s field. The organizer, Victor Velo, takes MooseCross very seriously and never fails to put on a memorable event. The picture that I should have taken was the kids’ race. I have been to a lot of bike races and never seen anything like the kids’ race today. Every child in Victor between the ages of three and ten must have been there.
The Upper Valley and Kelson riders have always looked forward to MooseCross and been among its most dependable participants. Today was no exception. Notable finishes included Kelton winning the junior race and Tim finishing second in the cat-4 race. We were very happy to have a number of people come over to watch the race today including Bob Yeatman and his family, Dan and Shea, and as always tons of support from long-suffering wives, kids, and family members.
Love the write-up. Wish I could have been there!
