This past Sunday I had the privilege of watching the second day of Michigan’s only UCI Pro Cyclocross Race. I must admit, I was a bit taken back by the panache and finesse that is Jonathan Page. I regard local favorites such as Weinert, Card, Saari, Wissink, etc. as cyclocross gods. However, it is amazing to watch the level at which a world-class athlete such as Page is really at; you come realize how good, good really is. After witnessing first hand at close range the pain faces and suffering these riders subject themselves to, I couldn’t believe my price of admission was free as it was priceless in my eyes.
The race has inspired me to piece together my dilapidated rig that I call a cross bike and perhaps subject myself to some concentrated late season suffering.
Here are some of the highlights I put together…enjoy.
