USGP Race #5 in Fort Collins

My home town was lucky enough to be hosting the fifth and sixth races in a four town cyclocross race series called the USGP.
It looked like our races were going to be dry and very dusty as we hadn't seen a flake of snow or a drop of rain in a long time.  The race director called it in a pre race meeting and almost on cue the rain and snow arrived.  He said he fully expected it to be a snowy race and mother nature didn't let him down. 
Wednesday it rained almost all day and that night it snowed two inches of so.  After a couple days of melting and refreezing the course was a mud pit to say the least. 
I had no idea that portable hot tubs existed but someone donated one for the race.  It was probably the best seat in the house.  The trailer was parker right next to the course and the hot tub was fired up for both days of the race.  I know you want one in your driveway for your next get together.

Anyways, it couldn't have been a better day for some cross racing and the mud only made it better.
