TXCX

When we last left Adam, he was meandering down to San Antonio, the home of the Space Needle. Some notes of San Antonio:

On I-35, at San Marcos, there's an Outlet Mall the size of Rhode Island. Huge.

I-35 may be the most irritating road to drive on. 68mph, in the fast lane is not cool.

Riverwalk: Is Awesome! Lots of fun, tourist-ey. And really cool at night.


Every place we saw was at least fun, except for the British Pub, Mad Dogs. Apparently they have no idea what a real ID looks like and don't even bother to train their staff. But at least they did threaten to call the police and keep my ID, to which I replied, "if you keep my ID, I'll be calling the police." Anyways, steer clear of that place and you'll be trouble free.

Irish Pub... AWESOME!

Friday Night, prior to TXCX 1 we decided to go out....

The hotel. Apparently, Davie, wasn't a cool enough name for a Hotel, but Priceline kept it cheap. Interesting note: if you park in the hotel lot the cost is $25/ day. If you park 2 blocks away, it's $5/day. Kind of the same as someone paying you $20 to walk 4 blocks.


Good thing we got the Texas Sized Margaritas.... I was really thirsty.





TXCX: Age based race.

This is NOT how you train for CX



But my Mii was awesome. C'mon. Fu Man Chu, Shades (indoors), unibrow, mullet, classy.




TXCX: Age Based.



All I have to say is, "Bryan Fawley." He took off like he was on a dirt bike and never looked back. Only briefly did one guy challenge him, but Bryan was able to pull it out in the end. Meanwhile, I was in 3rd by about 2 minutes, just cruising. Man, was it HOT for CX! Lots of wide open pedaling, the longest sand pit ever, and some technical stuff. Lots of TX guys were riding faster than I was in the open stuff both in practice and during the race. Luckily, I was going about the same speed everywhere. Here's a pic of my car immediately after the race. Note the temperature and date.
