Kanske(inte)cross
When I arrived, Björn had already been there for awhile trying to find a good training spot and he seemed to be saying kanske inte to today's Kanskecross. The parking lot was covered in a thin layer of snow but under that was solid ice everywhere. I tried to ride over to where Björn had made a trail and took my first rather nasty fall. Icy road vurpa? Check. Rather sore arm now? Check.
After trying to ride on the grass and having no luck, we decided to try somewhere else. Meanwhile I was enjoying the humour in having pedal trouble next to the P Dahl building. The snow covered road was a bit better but I braked a bit in a corner and took icy road vurpa #2...aj. We ended up using a sort of cleared road but Chris was a bit cross already and I took it easy. Sorry for holding you guys up. Vurpa #3 came when I was not even on the bike...just on a little hill.
Finally we ended up in a spot where we weren't supposed to train and make a rundbana with some nice hard sand and no ice. Finally I could actually train a bit and then I was happy I showed up afterall. Of course everyone knows that the more you ride in hard sand, the more soft it becomes. But sliding or falling in soft sand is not going to give me pain for the rest of the week.
Anyway, I hope Lasse makes this an official Göteborgs Superprestige race and that we get bonus points per vurpa.
