As part two of the Crosstoberfest Turducken Prestige I imagine this was going to see riders not at their sharpest.

I was planning to be at this race, but the organizers turned it into a much bigger more exciting event … that happened way too late for me to get back to Edmonton.

At one point in my season planning, I was going to be attending this race, but then things changed and I ended up working an evening shift the night before, which meant I’d need to get up at 4am to get to Calgary the next day, which wasn’t happening. It looked like a beautiful day for ‘cross racing from the Facebook pictures I’ve seen.

The first time I raced CX in Devon, I loved it. Last year I was injured beforehand so it turned out to be my worst race of the season, but it was still such a good course it was hard to really be down on it. This year I wasn’t hurt and just came in to have a good time. ¹

Part two of the first Edmonton race weekend saw way more people (in my race at least). The course went backwards compared to Jim Horner the previous day. This was good for me because it meant we had a non-technical climb right after the start, and that’s something I’m pretty decent at. It also meant that the switchbacks we’d been climbing on Saturday were now a descent. I’m never super great at these kinds of things and in the pre-ride lots of people were testing and re-testing the lines¹. After one wipeout when I was trying to cut it too close, I settled on unclipping my inside foot and dabbing a touch as I went around the steepest part. The best part of this feature was that it would be at the end of the lap so it wouldn’t be a huge mass of riders hitting it at the same time.

The Jim Horner Grand Prix of Cyclo-cross was my first Edmonton race of the season, and it went well. Unlike last year we had clear skies with no Air Quality warnings so all the races happened.

Being in Novice Men, I had an early start while the grass was still dewy and wet. The course opened with a bunch of twisty turns including an uphill off-camber thing (see the picture above of the Sport Men tackling it). I did that switchback okay in practice, but on the opening lap I totally wiped out, delaying a bunch of people behind me. Once that was out of the way though, I had a good race. I was following some people and eventually passed them. I couldn’t quite get in touch with the leaders of the race but I had a pretty good run.

It looks like they used the same course as for the Saturday’s Western Challenge, which I heard was a bit more technical than the pure power you needed to put down in Cochrane the weekend before.
