cx 2

We raced the second cx race sat in Ogden at the Weber county fair grounds. It's like a home court and we even got Adam to come out and race. Adam was sitting in and enjoying the ride. Little did he know he was passing the former US National champion in the 60 plus master, sweet Lou. This boy is much to happy, we need to turn the dial up! Little did we know that a good wash out was about to happen. See post below. Adam was ready to make his attack when he went down.

I went out hard this week from the beginning and got alittle gap and just tried to ride as hard as I could. Look close and you can see Daren in the background warming up.

Weber County is a great place for a Cross race and the triple log is one of the favorites.

The podium ceremony. My good friend Bob Walker (aka chopper) and I, had another day of trying to hurt each other. It's a great competition, we are in different age categories at nationals, I'm in the master 60 and Bob's in the master 55.

We had a great family race day. I was lucky enough to win, Daren killed the masters 45 group for the second Cottle victory. Daren's race is right after mine so the announcers are always mixing us up. It was cool to both win so close to home. We both wished our Dad could have been there to see it. Adam would have had the next family win if not for his crash. Tanner now felt no pressure as the announcers at the start of the race say "can Tanner make it three wins for the Cottle's today". T races in the A group, which is the best and fastest racers. Tanner had a great race and finished 10 in a loaded field of 30. It is so great to be hanging out with great family and friends. Ride safe. Doug
