Jortz CX Outlaw Race

Thus far this year has been one of the driest Caliornia winters, meaning that late year cross races were as bone dry as the early ones, meaning no mud. Cross without mud is hardly a cross race. With the first rains dumping three straight days, Team Jortz put together a muddy course. In my continual DNF fashion, I flatted on the first bend, raced back to change the flat in record time. I threw on the rear wheel hopped on and realized, it was a double flat. Spectator time. The three up front all had one gear, Kell and Morgan respectively first and third had fixed gears and Jonathan had a single speed in second. I got to ride the course once, it was a messy one (wish I could have raced it, maybe again soon). Despite a consistent rain, we still found time to hang out at the keyhole. In fear of the rain I left my camera home, but Pamela took some great photos. Check em on her Flickr. I can't imagine paying 70 dollars to race and have half as much fun as these outlaw races.

EDITED: I originally had it posted that Jonathan was fixed and not Morgan.
