Mud
Excerpts from today’s NOAA forecast:
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL DOMINATE THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND AS A SERIES OF PACIFIC FRONTS MOVE INLAND.
What a wonderful sentence.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a wet Alpenrose race. I’m having a hard time remembering when it was.
With the exception of Barlow, last year started out (and stayed) dry until mid-November. Granted, it went out with a bang but when 6 out of 8 race weekends are dry, it’s a little bit of a letdown.
The year before was dry too. Same with the Stumptown race in ‘05. I think 2004 was the last really good wet one we had there.
I raced Beginner that year. A big fat DNF (busted chain) at Blue Lake and in the 20’s at Barton. That was my first year racing cross. Talk about fun.
Back to the mud…
A few of you recent posts have not come out to good. I am not getting any words and your left hand side stuff is not coming up on the page either. What up?
