'cross cupcakes


I love 'cross! Still dazed and giddy, I haven't recovered enough from today's race to formulate any thought more complicated than that.

What do I love? Cool, sunny fall weather; racing as hard as I bloody can for 45 minutes; friends, old and new; my wool skinsuit and my beautiful new bike (I loved my old noodly bike with bar-ends too); cheering and heckling friends; the whole spectacle; coming home completely exhausted.

    hard to explain to Feltslave and Giulia what that white stuff (frosting) was on my shirt...

    THANKS for the cupcake. Best cross cupcake in the world.

  3. I had a cupcake. Pierre told me I could only have half because I barely finished in the top half of the race. They were delicious and the only thing that could cheer me up after my terrible race.

  5. Those cupcakes were delicious, thanks! And genius, plumping up the competition is even better than training.

    Also genius is that dual-tiered cupcake carrier. It was pretty funny seeing you roll into the parking lot in Somerville with a cross bike and a suitcase of bake goods.
