Cyclocross 2010--Chapter Two

The second week of the cyclocross career unfolded under the canopy of bright yellow Aspens, Long's Peak and a perfectly set fall weekend at 9,000 feet elevation.  Chris and Jason of DBC Events http://dbcevents.com/home/ sought out the perfect venue with on-site cabins and lodge rooms for cheap, an outstanding restaurant and required beer garden. 
Megan Taylor warms up on the trainer before the Senior Women Open event

Catherine, Dave and Lisse Attack a Walk Up Section
Aspen Lodge Resort & Conference Center http://www.aspenlodge.net/ pulled out all the stops to accommodate a large group of two-wheeling front rangers and found many new friends seeking a quick and quite get away.  We stayed in the Columbine cabin that miraculously was located at the start/finish line and served as COMOtion Sports base camp complete with restrooms, showers, tech support, Isles deep fried french fries and some left over PBR.

Official results show 5 COMOtion racers although I know there were a few not showing up on the roster (uh me and Kris with a K cause we DNFed ).  Results below.
Place
6 Stephen Oliver COMotion Sports Denver 3 Single Speed

17 Cary Dunn COMotion Sports Pine 3 SM 3
 9 Scott Gordon COMotion Sports Boulder 3 SM 3

Race results for me are brief.

Lap 1-go over handlebars while looking at upcoming technical section.
Lap 2- rear pinch flat in same area I performed the tumbling act for lap 1.
Lap 3- PSYCH!!! There was no lap 3.  Back to the pit area for beer. I'm done.
