Four bike shop worker bees entered the 11:30 Cat 4 heat: Jeremy from PCB, and Aubrey, Tim, and Sully from Colonel's. All rode single-speed 'cross bikes, so the race was pretty fair.
Jeremy carried the PCB colors to victory in the shop-rat race, and even pulled off an impressive 9th overall. We couldn't be more proud of our lead courier.
We set up to watch the race at the one forced dismount point of the race. There were two barriers, followed by a levy hill so steep riders had to run instead of ride up it.
Jeremy clearing the barriers on the first lap:
This picture shows just how steep the hill after the barriers was:
A quick remount, and Jeremy's back in the action
Our buddy Watson from the Arundel Bicycle Company rounding the corner at the top of the hill:
Tim, who took a bit of a fall on the first barrier run-up, getting up the hill on the next-to-last lap. We're proud of Tim for finishing the race, even if it was in Colonel's colors:
We asked Jeremy what enabled him to pull of such a decisive victory, even when he was outnumbered three to one. "Noodle Salad," he said.

A bit of a fall? In the cyclocross dictionary under "yardsale" that crash should be there. It was fun though, in a sick sorta way.
"Faceplant" or "eating s**t" would also be appropriate terms...as a spectator though, that was the highlight of the race!
