Kringle Kross, is the final weekend of Boise’s Waffle Cross Series. Yesterday’s race was designated as the Idaho State Cyclocross Championship. The weekend forecast was for generally stormy and unsettled weather, but we were still surprised by a heavy dump of slushy snow in the early morning hours Saturday. The Waffle Cross Series takes place at an outstanding venue, Eagle Bike Park, located in the foothills northwest of Boise. The soil there is fairly sandy, but the heavy overnight precipitation produced challenging muddy conditions.
Shae finished third overall, second Idaho resident, in the women’s race to finish as runner-up in the Women’s 1-2 State Championship. She also secured enough points to wrap up the Women’s Waffle Cross Series Championship.
Kelton started well in a fast Men’s 1-2 field, but his hopes for a good finish were derailed by an inopportune flat tire.
It would be generous to call the graceless flailing that I did racing, but I feel like the running sections treated me pretty well. The camera flattens out the long steep run-up on the east side of the course. Here and elsewhere, even the top competitors spend a significant amount of time off the bike.
