TXCX Day 2

Saturday post Age- Based race:

We went back out to the River Walk for a lazy Saturday afternoon for some more sight seeing/ touring.....

Yes, it really it's more than Hollywood fiction!



We were thirsty, again.



Rock Chalk! An MU alumni offered $100 to have it burned. Someone else offered $500 to take it home. I guess it's worth more hanging in the bar!



Alyson and I decided to go see what the big deal was about the Alamo. I've never been so, so, so... underwhelmed in my entire life. Basically, it was the first battle in the Texas war for independence from Mexico, which they won. Then they were a solo act for a while until the United States asked Texas to join up. They did and that's the story. I just saved you 2 hours of pushing through crowds.

So it took the Mexican Army of thousands least 90 minutes to defeat/ slaughter a hundred or so Texians. Seriously? That long?



Actually, all the Mexicans had to was wait until 9am and the Alamo would have been open. Go figure.......



TXCX: Skill based.



Fawley. He needs to be racing the GP cups or something where he can score some UCI points. The guy can ride. This course was much more fun and flowed very well! A little bit of everything, technical, open, just hard pedaling. I started in 4th, fell to 5th, rebounded and finished in 3rd! Crazy fun race! Alyson was running back and forth on the course yelling time splits and all the usual sayings at CX races. It was awesome to know where everyone was as the 2nd place through 6th place riders were within 50 seconds the entire time. I don't think I ever had more than an 11 second gap on the guy(s) behind me. Stefan Rothe was there showing his International Competition form from the Tour of the South China Sea. He was going so fast in the straights... I wasn't happy about that at all! But the loose corners slowed him just enough for me to creep away towards the end.

The "tight and white" of Source Endurance was easily seen all day and I was able to score a podium place. Also, here I am in a movie (below).
