i'm holding back

someone posted a query about the conditions in KCK on the necx list...

i really kinda want to reply:

Don't worry, if the conditions are too dangerous they will cancel the race.

But, ya know, i don't think the humor in that statement would come across well as a one liner. I have visions of the trailer full of bikes getting there. Everyone flying in. And then the race director cancels it because there is still 6" of ice all over the course. And well, Adam M jumped there with the official word of 15 minutes 15 minutes and then cancel... But the whole line:

> *Upon the cancellation of the event it will not be rescheduled for that calendar year.

These are Nationals. Where is the contingency for awarding the jersey if the race(s) are canceled? Award based on UCI points? What about the age group titles? What about racers who peak for this race w/o regard to being the #1 UCI rider going into the race? Ah what am i saying... it isn't like i'm gonna be racing...

It is sort of like gambling with the Mt Washington hill climb. Esp. that dude who flew in from Cali to race, then changed his ticket to fly back a day later to try and race up the next day only to have that canceled.

Here's to hoping yall DON'T get fahked by the weather in KCK... and man, i'd prolly be in a hospital getting an IV drip to combat the anxiety i'd have built up being the promoter for this weekend.

Good luck to everyone, promoter, officials, racers... Look for Rachael Lloyd to be the dark-horse contender for a podium spot! I'll obviously be pulling for Peanut to kick some serious ass. And i'm torn abit. It would be great to see JP take the jersey, but then i'd be lying if i said i wasn't pulling for the twin towers to kick some ass.

Kinda all comes down to the course. And that, is what makes Cross so damn cool, no?
