how i feel today... in solobreak's words, i am. I guess. At least by his mark.
I'm anxious about tomorrow. Wondering how the hell i'm gonna prep for it all... how the hell am i going to survive.
What am i going to do?
Course opens at 2pm today. I might join the thousand or so who might be pre-riding it. I expect it to be a big giant massive parking lot of cars and riders trying to get a few laps in the day before.
The goose poop is unbelievable, esp down by the pit areas.
I'm anxious about tires, about which to run, but then i sort of know it doesn't matter that much. Gotta run what i got. Just gotta race. Gotta ride.
I'm tired.
I also writing this for me... to try and document my first year into cross... to try and document that well my views and opinions and ideas have changed. To try and show that, yes. HOlding firm to a position i said a while back may not be good. Realizing and recognizing that as i learn and accumulate knowledge in all aspects of life my position will change. Maybe not so drastically to the point of appreciating 'W' but maybe i'll be more in favor of the Euro style grass crit super fast riding style cross courses with few barriers. Why? Because i find its what i'm better suited too. But it also gives me a goal and a couple specifics that i need to work on to improve my balance as a rider in Cross.
slide over and start pedaling, no jumping or landing on the saddle...
that's the advice of a pro on remounting... makes sense... if ya watch the Fidea team, its what they do...
Well time to head home and take a nap... then make some coffee and head out to the course...
good luck to all who go race, thank you to those who are not racing but are spectators...
thank you to the promoters, the course designers, and the staff of organizers that make this event possible. I may not agree with everything they do, but they are actually doing it and just for that reason need to be appreciated.
Take the lastest bit of stuff on the newenglandcyclocross list... pretty impressive...
its going to be a beautiful weekend racing. I hope everyone does well, races safely, and most importantly has fun.
well this grumpy old sensitive fart is signing off...
gonna go find some coffee and aleve...
my head hurts...

Good luck racing this weekend, I'll be doing some easy riding since the end of Verge was the end of my season. Who knows, I may wake up at the last minute and decide to race, I've been known to do that :P The goose poop should make tings interesting, lol. Should be much easier than it was last year though without all the snow and ice, that was torturous.
GOOSE POOP!
Brilliant!
But Zoozer, howz ya gonna get your nice clean towel back?
Bruce, I'll have to get it from you at some point, I guess for now it's your's. My loss, your gain.

Subterfuge!
Good luck tomorrow fellas.
I work just down the road from the park. I may scoot over for a short while.
I am not sure what tires work best in GOOSE POOP
does Michelin make a Goose Poop specific tire
or is it TUFO that has a good Goose Poop reputation?
