The problem with success is that it raises the bar.
That is, it is raising my own bar. Oh, I managed to pull off that... let's see what I can really do now. Thank you all for a great weekend. There are some mighty talented riders here. Strong and dedicated. Damn fine riding in Traffic Jam this past Saturday. A few new faces and a few older faces. Wow can they rip it up. XC race this morning was killer. I do believe that it's a record for turn out. This year's races are proving to be a super relaxed vibe. Come, race, chill, go home. What a way to spend Father's day.
Up next (not my event) is Round the Mountain race in Kimbo. These guys and gals are killin' it with the organization. You can be sure that we'll be taking a few pages from their book for the Six In The Stix. Congratulations Cranbrook and Kimberley for putting yourselves on the map this year. It's been excellent so far and it's just June. Holy crap.
Back to the bit about raising the bar... We did two events this weekend. Traffic Jam and The Father's Day Fiver. We lived through it. No injuries, just a couple of flats. So naturally (for me, anyway,) I've decided to boost it to 3 event this coming year. Start getting stoked for SIX IN THE BRIX. 6 km crit race in downtown Cranbrook on a 300m short track. We're going to have a roadie devision and a mtb devision. BMXers will be part of the MTB (given how well our BMXer Ramius did in the Traffic Jam). So that's next year. BUT. I want a crit now. NOW. So, it may happen that the next Cranberley Fiver is a crit race. I have to take a look at our terrain and see if I can find a decent spot to pull it off. Interest?
Results of the weekend are coming soon. Probably tomorrow. Have a great rest of Father's day ya'll.
