DCCX

Happy Monday. Little treat for you this AM. Yesterday, I went to see Cyclocross for the first time. It was very cool. Cyclists take three laps around a 2 mile course with sharp turns, dips, stairs, and short hurdles. They periodically have to dismount and then remount the bike in one fluid motion as the obstacles make it impossible to ride the course straight through.

It's just as challenging as it sounds, and these men and women are clearly in very good shape.

I took a lot of pictures, but the most fun was playing with video. This is my first stab at iMovie and the ending's a little abrupt, but all in all, I'm pretty pleased with how my little DCCX recap came out. Enjoy!
