Update from the Gunny ACA races from Mike

With the races this weekend in Gunnison and a 4 hr drive to get to them, the wife threw out the "hell no" to this weekend. Which after riding early in the week, is probably a good thing. The legs feel like cement and had no speed at cross practice on Wed night.

Mike and Courtney did make the drive down. They raced it last year and loved it so they packed up the Subbie and made the drive. Below is the Saturday race report:

Well with a crazy euro course at Gunny today. Tons of tight cornersmade for alot of re-accelerating. Grass made for some good fast crashes, but being a euro course it only had one dismount which was alot diferent from the typical 5 of ColoCross. 13 year old YonickEckmen took the 4's on the line with Adam Rachubinski in second. It was a good day for me and when I saw an oppertunity to take the last podium place with 2 1/2 laps to go I grabed it and fought it to the line. Bummed that more Frites en Mayo riders couldnt be out here. Even without Frites riders it was a better turnout than last year. Tomorrow should be interesting as foul weather is heading in and alot of people are heading back to Denver. Ill try to give a report about tomorrow and see if I can stay off the ground and on the podium.
Peace, Mike

So here is the post from Mike today about Gunny:

Its rain/sleating and freaking cold! this is gonna suck...I love CX!

Congrats Mike on the first podium for the Frites en Mayo Velo Club in our history....well, we have a short history of only 5 races, so looks like we are doing well at this point.

More posts about Mike's travels and Sunday's race when we get them. Also, the report on why the most of the team was not in Gunny this weekend, it deals with birthday's, Belgium beer and The Cheeky Monk.
