Cyclocross at Virginia Tech
I had a big weekend, a bunch of us went to race in Blacksburg for a race VT was putting on.
There was a night race on saturday, it was awesome ,but it was the first time I’d ridden the new bike, and I was a little sketchy at first, then I adapted and started moving. I ended up getting 6th in the Collegiat A’s in the night race and 4th in the day race on Sunday.
I am really really hoping to make the Cyclocross Nationals Team, but there are a lot of fast guys here. We have an extremely good chance of winning. It looks like the squad will be something like this.
1. Brad Perley
2.Eric Thompson
3.Aaron Bradford
4.Scott Stewart
5. Nic Dale
Then if Scott “Busted Face” Jackson decides to race there are only 2 spots between.
Cruise Bogedin, Chris Pikerel, and Myself.
If he dosn’t race I’ll definitely be there.
Then I went with Nic Dale to his home in Raleigh to pick up his new Giant Anthen and see his dog that is actually a cat. We stopped to watch the new Bond in Durham, which we thouroughly enjoyed. Then we woke up at 5 to drive back to the B-Easy in time for caf breakfast.
I have to put my redline on Ebay right now.
I’ll post pictures of the yet to be named bike soon.

Good to hear! You have a race this coming weekend as well, don’t you?
What is a night race? Did you install your high beams? 6th and 4th - you must be a strong cyclocross racer. If you had a showing like that, why aren’t you automatically on the team? What else do they use - looks, grades, style, or matching outfit?
