Cyclocross Pictures and Itta Bena Offer

I like multi-tasking so I decided to walk Poppy in Greenbelt Park on Mud Island this morning and at the same time get some photos of the 22nd Annual Cyclocross. It was pretty chilly out there but it was still fun to watch. There was a circuit set up in the park and riders had to ride up and down hills, dismount to run over hurdles while carrying their bikes (sometimes also uphill), and ride normally on the course in between all this on and off and up and down. Looks exhausting. You can see the race results by going to the Tennessee Bicycle Racing Association's website: http://www.tbra.org/raceschedule.php

I picked up the November issue of Skirt! magazine and Itta Bena has coupon in it for 20% off an entree (page 18). It's valid until November 30th. I haven't been there in a while but it's one of my favorite places downtown. It's located above BB King's Blues Club - easiest to enter from Second rather than Beale. You can pick up Skirt! at Blues City Coffee and lots of other places around town.
