Is it really cyclocross season?

Racing cyclocross in August might be a bit like George Bush dating Britney Spears, but nonetheless, I'm racing in the morning.

Today, I had to clean off caked on mud from racing in the snow/ice down in Providence last December. Then I realized I didn't have any rear brakes. So I had to replace some pads, and adjust. Then some new tires, and a final adjustment of my seat hight, some heavy cleaning of the chain. Lube everywhere...and we'll call it good. Runs almost like new.

It's on tomorrow. If I don't do well in the race, it's because my front wheel needs truing. Or, it might be because I had two glasses of sangria while fixing and cleaning her up.

Did I mention it was 93 degrees out today? Ironic, considering cyclocross racing was created by Euros so they could ride and race their bikes in the winter time.
