Jingle Cross Night Race Video

I wish I could do this every day!

Jingle Cross Days 2 & 3

Day 2 and 3 of racing were a lot like Friday night... mud, mud and some more mud for good measures. By Sunday the course was dry in most spots with the exception of Mt. Krumpet. I found these couple videos to show how crazy the course really was as well as how fast Todd Wells was really going compared to everyone else. When 2nd place is minutes down on him you know someone not as "Pro" like me is going to be in for a world of pain to keep from getting lapped. Surprisingly I was able to make it a little longer every day before getting pulled including Sunday when I made it to 2 laps to go! The final results from the weekend are 25th, 29th and 32nd with some heavy hitters like the Wells brothers, Planet Bike's elite squad, The Legend Ned Overend and many more. A shout out to the promoters, spectators and even a few serious superfans to making this one of the best weekends of racing year in and year out! I would also like to give a big thanks to Tim from Half Acres for being an awesome pit man all weekend and getting me a clean bike when it counted the most.

It looks like Jingle Cross is going to be my last big weekend of racing for the year sadly. My plan of going out to Bend, OR for Nationals has now fallen through. UW Milwaukee was going to foot most of the bill for my trip to represent our school. It seems there are too many rules and too few of funds to really make it happen now. I'm not going to lie I'm extremely disappointed right now and if it wasn't a 30+ hour drive one way and the week of finals I would man up and drive it! There is one more race in Chicago that might be worth hitting up this weekend to finish up another year of racing. I'll post more pictures and videos from this last weekend as they come along.
