Managed to dodge all the rain drops yesterday (except the puddles and wet roads) and this morning. How fortunate i feel.
I also feel fortunate to call all yall friends. Got me wondering. I write stuff down here first for me. But there is always a subconcious act of knowing that i'm not the only one reading it and sometimes i do pointedly write something not for me. But, let me say - thanks friends.
I'm still pissed and all off kilter about missing the damn Pre-reg opening for the RI Cross race weekend. "What does it matter?" well. It doesn't. Not now at least. I won't race in the cluster Fahk 9am race. That's just flat out insanity. I've made my opinion known on mixing the 3/4 Masters fields with the beginner Cat 4 fields. So. See'n as it is suicidal for me to try and holeshot against the masters who train regularly and specifically, and holeshotting is really pretty stupid unless you can hold that position. Signed up for the 1/2/3 35+ race.
I actually liked the old steadman's course the best. Goddard park though should be cool. But then i hate the downhill start and the hard turns on the pavement... But the sandy runs and the rest of the course is pretty fun.
Couple cool things - you might have missed if ya ain't regular followers of Josh or Gwadz or the target of their linkage:
the G'Zilla linked Crosstube.net a collection of cyclocross videos from u toob it looks like.
Josh aka "125 pound tubular rolling roadie" posted a link up to Chris's "what makes a 'cross course"
Thinking about Goddard for both days is sooooo cool. Not only is it super close to the house - 11am start is luxurious... That and with all the big hitters coming from around the country as the traditional lead in to Nationals the following weekend. It'll be big, huge and wicked damn fun!
Speaking of traditional. Here's a seasonal twist.
Turkey. Mmm... got my fresh natural turkey ordered. Can't wait to cook it up next week!
