Star Crossed OFFICIAL POST, in pictures!

As most of you may or may not know by now, a hand full of us packed our bags and bikes and braved the border to head down to the 2011 edition of Star Crossed in Seattle. Accommodations were graciously offered up by Matt 'Meat' Hornland's parents, and let me say that after knowing this turkey for as long as I have it was a pleasure to finally, ahem, meat the parents. Muchos gracias, Janice and Garth. Big ups to Ashley Stotts and Dave Colins for driving. Enjoy.

SRAM equipped bikes need extra attention.

When your kit smells this bad, no one wants to help you pin your numbers on.

I had to go 150 kms south of the border to get a Matt Kennedy sighting.

I'd like to see a Bart Wellens VS Bart Taylor VS Bart Simpson CX Helltrack kinda race.

To properly clear the barriers, you must hold your bike as flat as a hand sprouted organic spelt filtered rain water infused pancake. Or a UFO.

With teeth like that, I can tell EV's Dan Spry didn't grow up playing hockey.

Something must have been happening just to my right.

This is what we do.

This is how we do it.

This is what we listen to while we do it.

And this is one of many ways to clean up when we're done.
Remember team mates, we have a local race next Sunday Sept 25 at New Brighton park on Vancouver's far east side. Come out and yell loud at us while scaring our competitors!

The end.
