Commuter Cycles is rad,
so rad that they are holding the Bicycle Black Market

A free swap meet at nighttime!
Free stalls,
followed by a free screening of Cyclocross films,
It’s in the evening, so it means that I can go,
and you should too!
Cyclocross seems to be the happening thing at the moment,
last weekend I raced (attempted) in the first of the Dirty Deeds series
organized by the excellent minds of Nik Cee and Brendan Bailey.
I have done some pretty physically demanding things in my time,
but this was brutal!!
The course beat me and I scored a DNF (did not finish)
I was one of three girls in a field of 78 riders,
so was guaranteed a position if I did finish,
but alas…
In a weekend of firsts,
I went to my first AFL game at the MCG on Friday night and got rained on,
woke up on Sunday morning with a scratchy throat and still decided to attempt the race.
‘I’ll be right’ I said confidently to myself,
‘just gotta finish’
Neither of these things came true,
and I have been nursing a cold for the better part of this week.
It has also put my training for the next one back a week,
but I’m still going to give it a bash.
Come and race, and if you don’t want to race,
come and watch,
cyclocross is definately a spectator sport.
