Sour Apples, Sloppy Chains

The 331 Short Track didn’t exactly go as planned.  

Both heats started out really well.  I was out front with each first lap, and tried to make a move going into the second.

And then my chain spoiled my day.  Chain trouble had me off the bike not just three times in the first heat, but also in the second heat after taking a spill in one of the super dusty corners.

With only twenty minute heats, I knew there wasn’t anything I could really do to catch up.  Instead, I did some wheelies, and rode all of the rolling bumps like jumps, while making annoying dirt bike noises.

With that said, the course was super fun.  A lot like the cyclocross course, minus the open field stuff.

And, what the heck?  No pizza?  BUMMER.
