Scuba?

I've got a ride planned for tonight... too bad if it rains. I can't control
the weather, so why should I let it ruin my evening..
I was trying to think of an outside activity where the rain wouldn't effect me...if I really was in to Scuba diving....hmmm Sun would still be nicer though, it tends to get a bit dark down there. I haven’t
been scuba diving in years and not sure if I could do this activity
without dying anymore and that is a requirement I have. The bike has
fenders and a light so how bad could it be…a few hours tops, piece of cake and I don't have to worry about any sharks or running out of air.

Real cross

Sundays cross race at Valley view middle school in Snohomish was a real NW cross experience.
The afternoon races, were on a by now well worn course and the mud was deep and sticky.
Thankfully the rain and hail let up for the start of my race. The start was fast as everyone wanted to get to the single track section first. As soon as we came of the track and on the off-camber grass section riders were going down like bowling pins. I managed to stay upright and avoid the falling riders.
The entire course was full of slippery grass and mud, and it was only a matter of time before going down or losing traction and sliding out of control.
My race however ended early because of another reason, my seat came loose and the nose tilted up by 45’…


I rode one lap like this… but as I passed the finish line for the second time, I pulled out; the prospect of another 6 laps in this position wasn’t too appealing. It was frustrating to have to pull out with a mechanical like that, clearly avoidable if I had just been more careful adjusting the seat that morning.
Maybe next time.
