The last few weeks have been a whirlwind finish to the cross season. I drove up to Portland for the final USGP and then headed to Bend to finish the season with Nationals.
The Portland races were some of the biggest, deepest fields I've seen in women's cross outside of nationals. It is great to see the sport growing and fun to have such a deep field to race with. There was always pressure in front and behind and every little mistake mattered. The Portland USGP was also a super fun atmosphere with crowds of cross enthusiasts, a spectator friendly venue, and even a marching band! We didn't get the rain that Portland is known for, but we still encountered a bit of mud and overall fun course conditions. In addition to great racing, I also had a lot of fun pitting and spectating... getting to watch Cypress tear it up in the juniors race, Wayne pull out a podium in his master's race, and a very exciting finish in the elite men's race.
Here are some pics from the weekend from Chuck, our super host (and photographer)...
After the weekend, the fam and I headed to Bend for one final week full of cyclocross fun.
