Blind Date at the Dairy

 Wednesday night I went to Blind Date, the Alpenrose Cyclocross series.  I first learned about Cyclocross this summer, when I took the Title 9/Sorella Forte women's bike clinic.

I was intrigued by the idea of an event that is raced in a circle, where it is very hard to distinguish the winners and losers and you're expected to get muddy.

  I was behind on keeping tabs of when the races started, so I hadn't quite got the nerve up to race on Wednesday. 

 

 So I took my security blanket, I mean camera and photographed some of the races.

 

After seeing one race, I've gotten up the nerve to sign up for tomorrow's Cross Crusades.  Wish me luck!
