Maybe two actually.
Last weekend I went to NC for the last USA Cycling Endurance Calendar Event outside of Charlotte. The October Challenge 8hr race was on the agenda, and I was excited because there were going to be some big names there I read about but never get a chance to race. Nat Ross, Tinker Juarez, Jeremiah Bishop and Ernesto Marenchin. Another strong man named Diego was showing, so I was real excited about the possibilities.
Also Since it was a USA Cycling Calendar event there was going to be some good coverage.

The short of it was after watching Nat Ross lead through the first lap, I went to the front and got into the trail first on the second lap with Jeremiah on my tail. We did a bit of pace setting, letting the rear ends flail around, and at the end of the first lap we had a 40 sec gap on everyone else. We just kept setting that pace and in the end it came down to Jeremiah and I sprinting each other for the win. Well, he actually went early, and caused us to go out on another lap so he had a 12 sec gap on the last lap and over the finish line.
Either way, it was a great race, and one of the first times I had a pit crew, which was an awesome experience.

One other event which was off the radar but fun was the 2nd annual Philadelphia Dirty Dozen hill climb race. It was a 42 mile ride with 13 of the burliest steepest climbs in the area.
In the end I took the win amongst a crowd that started at 80 strong and dwindled to 30. None of the climbs were more than 4 minutes but they were all headwalls of note.
You got to love local unofficial events like that. And I won a mason jar of homemade chili!
