Don't be fooled by the endless coverage of the football game this week. The real men and women are at Wheeler Farm racing road bikes with knobby tires and lycra skinsuits in the dirt and mud on Saturday. Nothing against a bunch of fat guys with shoulder pads but come on people go to where the action is....
The Poki Cross was a lot of fun, definitely worth the 3 hour drive with 3 little kids. Lots of grass, climbing, corners, a run up with a maze of boulders just as you get back on your bike....ouch! NOt to mention the 6 dollar bills I stuffed into my skinsuit after getting the wad at the top of the run-up. Good times. I again finished my usual mediocre middle of the pack 5th place. The A-train was on good form, I thought I might be able to catch him but kept losing time on each lap. I have been contemplating hanging up the Sidi's for the year. Its been a long season that started for me in February at the VOS POS stage race, note to self and others, never race that race again. Anyway cross is too damn much fun even if your body is telling you that you've had enough, your mind is in charge so I'll be out there. I'll rest on Dec 9th.....maybe
Yesterday was my last chance at singletrack in shorts so I took it. The BST was packed but I didnt care. The views of the valley were just amazing, nice clean air. I bombed the bobsled for probably the last time this year. So Al Gore keep flying that private jet around because this global warming in treatin me just fine.
And to finish off this massive post, check out the dead animal head my neighbor was driving around the other day. I took the girls out to see it and they just stared and said, "I wanna pet it Daddy".

So be honest, you race all the road races, mtn bike races and now the cross races. If you could only race one, which one would it be?
I mean discipline, mtn, road or cross, not specifically a certain race.
The redneck in me is very jealous of your neighbor. If only he took it with a bow, I'd be more impressed.
To be honest this year it was the MTB, winning the E50 was great mostly because of the trails, cross is a close second only because its not as long. How about a 90 min cross race? Road is just a means to some fitness
Mount that sucker on your cross bars this weekend and kick tail...
better yet place a speaker with a feed to it, so when you come up on someone it will make a real animal noise, that should scare the crap out of them...moo it when you go by for quadraphonic sound...
I think your daughters might be sick... I wouldn't want to touch that rotting animal head, and i'm a guy!
