Saturday? Saturday was good. The weather was amazing. The Barkers were back together again. Ailey and Ritchie were here to visit. The bike racing venue was amazing. It was that kind of day.
Somebody here was pretty damn happy to spend some time with her daddy. I think the feeling was mutual.
I tried my best to get Barkernews to ride faster. Yelling at him that I could run faster than he could ride may or may not have helped.
BFFs (Hazel and Aunt Ailey) back together again.
The start of the Women's B race. I am trying to support smaller, Saturday races this year (vs. the masses at Cross Crusade). I like them. They are laid-back, fun and I don't have weave my way around 60 other girls just in my own category to get a good spot.

Winding my way through the (uphill) singletrack. I gave it 100% at this race and then I gave it 10% more. It. Was. Awesome. I did made a crucial error in the 3rd lap, bounced my bike off the barriers and subsequently lost my chain. Thus, I lost at least two places and slipped to 6th. Bummer. Overall, I was pretty pleased with my performance.
