Two race weekend

Two bike races this weekend. I raced in Brenmerton which is a town about 25 miles north of Gig Harbor, and has a Naval base. The race was a town centre short circuit lap race (criterium). I got into a break, but we were caught with 2 laps to go. I had enough left in the tank for the sprint but got it all wrong and got into the wrong position. Had to settle for 4th - still, not too bad.

After the race we had a wonder around the Blackberry festival on the waterfront in Bremerton and enjoyed the fabulous selction of freshly cooked food they put on there. All in all, a grand day out!

In the break:
















Sunday was the first race of the cyclocross season at Seatac: The Labor Day Championships. I raced in cat 4 (with all the youngesters) and Summer raced in women's cat 4. Summer was in her first bike race for some time and did an awesome job, finnishing 11th. I got 3rd. Photos to come, hopefully.
