Wow! Cross Crusade broke their own record for the biggest participation for a cross race and Portobello did its part with 13 riders lining up in their respected fields. Lauren decided last minute to try her first cross race and raced back home to get her shoes...luckily Aaron had her practicing dismounts the night before after Portobello closed up at midnight. Aaron brought Field Roast sausages and fixins', Tym brought coffee, Mark brought Shannon's raw energy treats(yum!), Jeff brought the grill and Marc organized having the tents up and ready the day before.
We had lots of people hanging out at the tents all day watching the action and cheering on our teammates. Just about eveyone crashed at least once on the fast and technical course that had everything but mud- sand pits, rutted grassy pasture, gravel, off camber sections, and barriers and hairpin turns in the velodrome. A shout out to Dan Werle who stopped during his race to take care of Tony after he was knocked down and run into. We'll be bringing ice to the pain cave at the next Cross Crusade!
