Good evening from the chilly and dark streets of Missoula. Just returned from the concluding race of the Wednesday Night Cyclocross Race Series, securing a fourth-place finish. This result places me in a tie for the top spot in the Men’s A series standings.
Despite the deceiving sunshine, the ride out to Fort Missoula was met with biting winds. I did a few laps around the course to warm up, finding the setup not too shabby, hinting at potential experimentation for the upcoming Montana Series Races here in three weeks.
The course featured a short run-up and an engaging slalom section with four hairpin turns, stretching out with lengthy road stretches and bumpy flats. Opting for a larger gear, I managed to glide over the rough patches smoothly.
Post-race, as results were announced and series champions named, there was a moment of suspense before the tie for first place in the Men’s A series was revealed. To my surprise, my name was called out alongside another as co-winners. A mix of shock and pride washed over me, especially as I was awarded some Kettle House brew and free bread from Le Petit Outre. An exciting end to the series!
