The last big season finale: The US Gran Prix of Cyclocross, Portland Cup.
The USGP is a 6 race, 3 weekend series across the nation stopping at Louisville, KY; Mercer Co., NJ; and finishing in Portland, WA. The Portland Cup was held last weekend at the Portland International Raceway. Conditions were dryer than normal for Saturdays race but very cold. The Day started out in the upper 20s but reached low 40 by my race. Sunday's race was quite the contrast as it had rained over night but temperatures rose over 15 degrees to the low 50s for my event.
Out of just under 100 racers in the Men's B field I finished 13th overall on Saturday and 11th on Sunday against folks from Canada, California and Vermont (of all places) and beating most of the guys I raced against in the Crusade series.
