I woke up to pretty cold temperatures this morning in Cable.   -15  The snow is crunchy and the first breath is a shock to the system.   I missed the European cross Nationals because I was answering some important emails.  Disappointing, but I’ll watch them later.

Today is the Elite races for US Nationals.  The live coverage is already going on.  Click here for the stream.  The elite women’s race is at 1:30 CST with the men’s at 2:30.  I have to watch now, the U23 race is one.

Dennis house looks beautiful with the snow.

I threw some boiling water in the air. It is super fun at -15.

Morning temperatures.

This guy had to have ridden the tricky descent at Cyclocross Nationals faster than nearly any other rider.  If you have video evidence of someone going faster, forward it to me.  I saw a picture of this guy on Instagram, but seemed to you lost it.  He is racing the U23 race, wearing jeans.  He finished on the lead lap.  If someone has that photo, forward it to me so I can give him credit.

***Okay, his name is Andrew Lints.  He was a Cat 3 earlier this season, maybe still is?   Crazy good bike handler.

Here’s Andrew after the race.

Pretty cold this morning when I woke up. It was -29 when Dennis got up a couple hours earlier.
