Bug bites and a fine CX training session

Tonight was the premiere for MCKs CX training out at Slottsskogsvallen which I have to say is a bit tricky to drive to from Partille. Considering that I work about 5 minutes from there, maybe I should leave the car. Of course I don't think I could have managed the ride all the way home after.
It was great to see Sven back and ready for battle. And he has been doing some training... We started with some grus corners which is what my bike is pretty useless at and my clincher tires were completely wrong. But over time I was learning how to handle it and accelerate through the corners. I was surprised that my downhill technique was fine but my brakes were making way too much noise.
Soon it was time for 2-lap races and it felt like I was at max all the time. Yes...CX is back! And I am sure that any picture of me will show a decent 'race face'. So I am not surprised to feel quite tired now.
Of course I want to ride my new bike and I got a few tips tonight that will help.
The only problem with tonight was the mosquitos...
