Today we spent the majority of our morning FREEZING to death! Nate raced in his very first cyclo-cross race over at Sandy Point. I think the temperature was about 25 degrees when the wind chill was factored in. BRRRR!I thought I was going to have my husband back during the biking "off season" but apparently I was wrong. Cyclo-cross is basically road bikes pretending to be mountain bikes. They ride on dirt, sand, over stairs, through mud, and up steep hills. They even pick up their bikes and run with them occasionally. It is kind of a hybrid road bike/criterium/BMX thing.
The boys and I pretty much just hung out in the car and cheered every time he rode by. We tried to get out and watch from a different point of view but after about 2 minutes we opted to stay in the heated car. :)
It was fun. Nate took 12th out of 40 people....not bad for a newbie.

Cute pics. You are going to have to teach me how to do the picture boxes some time.
Congrats Nate, and sorry Staci. How did he find another way to race his bike?
Those are so cool pics you took! You are such a nice wifey to support him through the freezing cold!
