My good friend and Hup teammate Pierre Vanden Borre took the hole shot at Milford Clasic at the Thunderdome and battled with a West Hill guy until his formidable opponent could no longer afford the high rents at the PainCave. After his untimely eviction, PVB gently put the poor dude's heart on the little conveyer belt they have at finagle bagel and shot it through the rapidly rotating blade of death to have two parts of a still beating heart in which he placed some just ripened avocado, some romaine lettuce, and Ecuadorian cheese to make a heartocado sandwich.
The End.
P.S. This race was awesome. It needs to have a little more elevation, and maybe be twice as long, but it was a cool venue. I lost so much time battling my bike on the potholy, wet turns right before the first barriers. I easily lost 10 seconds there every lap. Contrary to what most people said, I think the barrier in the sandpit was a really cool feature. I went to get my pit bike after the race and noticed that my rear dugast tubulars were flat. It is a good thing I didn't go in for a bike change. After the race, my hands were completely worked from the braking. I know I know, less braking. But I can't wait to try out the Mini V-brakes in a race situation. The lever action is so fricking light on these thing that you can literally come to a complete stop using just one finger. I noticed this weekend that when I was out of the saddle, I could hear the wheel rubbing against the brakes. I am curious how this will be with V-brakes which are even closer to the rim. Ciao for now, and well played Vanden Borre.

u forgot to mention that you finished 15th. in a B race. after you were stressing all summer about not doing well.
well done.
I could not have been happier with the race last weekend. I messed up on a bunch of corners and should have gone faster on some of the faster turns, but at no point did I hate cyclocross and mentally quit like I usually do.
Dude, 15th is awesome! You are too modest not mentioning your result in your post.
