The first start lists for the CX races in Borås and Alingsås were disappointing with only 13 starting in veteran class. But the latest lists are over 20 so things are looking slightly better.

Naturally, I would prefer starting with 40 or 50 because then there is a greater chance I will find someone at my level to race with. And I need this because the start in Borås is uphill and the first thing you hit in Alingsås after start is one of those bumpy downhills where you lose your chain. So it will be 'catch up' for me for the whole race.

It would be very nice if I could take these next few days to work on some CX skills but there is too much happening at work now. Both tracks are quite tough so it would have been nice with some extra training. At the moment it looks like saturday and sunday will be 'fun races' for me. But I still have my red tires. =)
