Cyclocross Escape

Braving the cold out at Boulder Reservoir.

The cold continues and we’ve all been holed up inside. I half-excitedly, half-reluctantly got out of the house for a frigid cyclocross race out at the Boulder Reservoir. My parents are in town to meet Eli, so they came along to watch. It was great to see my friends at LTD Cycleworx, but equally nice to have an excuse to get back to the family and escape the 10 degree temperatures after the race.

Despite the adventure of riding skinny tires through the snow, I felt guilty for leaving Morgan home alone with a one-week-old baby. We’re quickly seeing the value of teamwork and it was nice of her to volunteer to take on the challenge of being a solo parent for a few hours while I got my adventure fix. I hope to be able to return the favor soon.

First time racing cyclocross in the snow.
