For part one go HERE.
Since I'm not stealing pictures anymore...or trying to quit anyway, here's a link to my new favorite pic. I like it so much I might buy it and make a poster out of it...not really, but I like it. It says pain and anger all in one.

In addition to what I posted Saturday night about the race, I'd like to say that I really came to like the new wheelset/tire combo that I got for the cross bike. After the first race of the season I wasn't liking them so much because they were slow on a dry course, but in a mudfest and wet grass I couldn't imagine anything better. The Williams Cyclocross wheelset rolled great, had great braking ability, and were stiff. The Challenge Grifo 34's as big as they might be, handled the dirt/mud/grass/wet/offcamber/flat/whatever the course had to throw at them. I would highly recommend these tires for any kind of conditions that weren't dry. For dry 32's would be better, or better yet a file tread.
Thanks for reading!
