It was the third crit I have done; the first was during &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/ridethelobster.com\/\">Ride the Lobster<\/a>&#8221; a few years ago in Canada. The second was last year at <a href=\"http:\/\/ugames.caluni.org\/\">UGames<\/a> in San Francisco. Both of those crits were on flat ground around a block and just making right turns. This one in Auburn was a blast because it had an uphill, a flat section, a steep downhill into a left turn, and the usual right turns. It was nice to have the variety and I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Allen&#8217;s daughter also snapped a picture of me cruising by on one of the laps:<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMAG0493.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" alt=\"IMAG0493.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, we did a 10 mile &#8220;coker muni&#8221; ride that really wore me out.
