Sauvies

As cyclocross season comes to a close, winter begins its initial decent upon Portland, and subsequently my existence. However, before that whole process actually commences there's still the Kruger's Farm race on Sauvies island, and in terms of races its basically designed to make one feel better about themselves after a hard season of racing and possibly losing.

You can have the worst season racing the Cross Crusade, never truly doing well, but if you race Sauvies things are basically guaranteed to end nicely. Its flat, quick, there are no call ups so you can just go to the front of the line of racers, and most importantly, almost all the fast people are too tired to show.

Its like being Hershey's and going to a chocolate contest only to find that Nestle didn't show up.

SO great
