A couple of weeks ago Thor and I went to Astoria to race in the Halloween Cx races. I'm so behind on posting that I feel like I just need to get these picks up there! I don't have any of Thor racing (this race overlapped the period where the camera was MIA) - but some friends sent me some pictures from my race - and I'm off the bike running in all of them. There was some really sticky mud!
Eating a nutella/whipped cream waffle post-race on Saturday.
Sunday the 31st was the costume race. Thor decked himself out in his camo turkey hunting shirt, and I went as a figure skater (it's hard to see my costume, but it has a little skirt on it and everything!). Fun times - AND - it was the first time I ever swapped out the gearing on my single speed (thanks to Anna Christensen for showing me how to change my rear cog!). I ran a 36x19 both days - and was quite thankful for the easier gear on the hills and in all the mud.
Racing with the guys in the men's SS category.

Thor and I left right after my race so we could get home in time for the trick or treaters - I had barely enough time to carve our pumpkin before they showed up!
AND - you'll get a big chuckle out of the video I'm including. One of the guys on Thor's team dressed up as a gorilla - and someone caught this video. The best part is that he's not actually drunk - he just has absolutely zero peripheral vision out of the monkey suit - so it's impossible to steer his bike!
