Seriously, come kick off the year with a bunch of your friends riding around in a race like situation. Haven't been riding? so what, neither have I, it will just be a measure of how long we can hold off the fast dudes and kids while we work on pedaling till we puke and then rally and go.
Where specifically? basically at the MRC training race course.
Rob has the vision of a month long series. We can move it to sunday maybe but that's going to be feedback based. Show up on the 1st and let me know if you wan to race on the 8th or 9th.
Goal: participation and fun. And really, when it comes down to it, what's more fun than racing your friends/enemies even if a training ride kind of race (it will be race pace intensity).
Don't worry about the snow. We'll make it work. If you'd rather strap your feet to one or two boards, well nothing we can do to get you there unless a heat wave blows in an melts all the snow giving you no choice but to drag your Cyclocross bike out.
Next year Nationals will be on the 3 and 4th and then Masters worlds will follow shortly in January.
And trust me, there will be more snow on the course then than we'll have on Saturday. Might as well get used to it.
Questions?
Commnets?
Suggestions?
(yes, i'm honestly asking - but feedback given on the 1st in person will receive the most consideration)

Have you been over there yet? You're looking at 18 inches of cement-like snow. Unless some very favorable drifting happened, and you can make a small loop, someone needs to get over there with a snowblower or at least a powerful dirt moto and blaze a trail today. Then you might get enough melting to make it rideable. If you snowblowed a path that melted to the grass and then had a snow berm, you might actually have something fun. Otherwise you'll be running through the snow carrying a bike... Good luck, really.
I have the exact same concerns as Solo.
I have no concerns. Mostly just because I feel like being contrarian. Bold and solo (why isn't it Solobreak, why no capital "S"?)are just afraid of the Master's competition now that their EPO has worn off. Seriously, it's supposed to be be 50 degrees this weekend, should melt enough.
Oh, and I can't race the 8th or 9th, I'll be working to save our freedoms that weekend.
Hooah!
EyeFnBob - I am a Unix romanticist, therefore I believe mixed-case and spaces have no place in filenames nor urls. Thus it's solobreak for the same reason it's davefoley.com Look close and you might find occasional references to Solo rather than solo, so as not to be confused with gewilli style gratification.
BTW, I'm about 12 miles southeast of Wrentham, and I'm buried. It's not going to all melt this weekend, even if it hits 70. Maybe it's lighter there...
as i just mentioned - we can easily set up the course to use just a bit of the snowy grass and then the single track.
But I've got a feeling where the plows haven't made a mess, it will be okay.
you're only 12 miles away dave. just show up - if it is a shit show don't unpack your bike, plenty of us (me) will make the best of it and Race.
I will be up north running with the bullshitters, so not this week. Old Man Winter is good stuff though, so you got that going for you. Pretty high ABV. Gewilli should drink a growler and make a promotional video.
