[BHV] cross kicks

[Bob Nunnink]

Hey Bill,

You didn't need to go to Holland to see that kind of action,  all you
had to do was travel to Mecklenberg.  Yesterday over 95 cross nuts
showed for a fantastic 1.8 mile course at Buck Hill. George Hluck and
myself represented BHV.  You can see some picture here

This was my first cross race and while I wasn't on the leader board at
least I didn't hurt myself..  Ok I did crash three times.  Once in the
whop di dos made out of wood chips on the warm up.  Trick was not to
go too fast, you endo.  Too slow you cause a crash.  Second crash was
unclipping before the log pile slipping in the mud.  Third crash was a
tigh turn on wet grass. I looked just like your Dutch crashes.  Each
time I got up and rode harder.  The course included a bit of
everything.  If Jeff was there he would have stolen the race. It was
his kind of course.  I was happy to pass one of the greybeards of FLCC
who I had been chasing the entire race.  Ok he dropped his chain but I
was ready to pass him in the final downhill stretch.  George did one
more lap then me. Nice job George.  Next week is the Swandome and
after that we go to Ommegang brewery for beer...... I mean cross.

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Bobby
