Damn, I've never done a cross race, and now I want to. Those were good. The Wisahicko-whatever one was the best IMO. Nicely edited, looked like a perfect cycling day from start to finish. I gotta look into this cross thing.

One question though, if you've never done the flying mount like that, what kind of learning curve is there? In other words, how much does your junk take a beating before you get it down? It looks like it has the potential to be painful.

it took me nearly 2 seasons to comfortably remount
with no issues. until that point, i would half-heartedly
attempt to do it right, but more often than not i'd just
do it in super-slo-mo. and then one fine day it all became
second nature. the best i can suggest is visualization: try
to get in touch with your inner lance and imagine that
nothing can touch that atmo.

GO RED...!!! (Or is it, GO BLACK...? :confused: )

the key is to slide onto the saddle making contact with your inner thigh. make sure not to wear worn out bibs so the junk isn't hangin where it shouldn't be.

oh i've never really seen cross before. i get it now. it's like doing the hardest crit ever while having someone twist your balls in a vice, kick you in the shins, and punch you in the stomache.

cool.

it's a 50+ minute interval where teamwork and drafting do not
exist. i watched 'cross since forever but only began racing in 2001.
it freakin' resuscitated my interest in competeing. i'd trade all my
best days on the road for a bad day at the 'cross venue. nothing
in cycle sport has resonated with me as much as this discipline.
i also think that 'cross is the only cycling event that has the power
to capture an american audience. squrew the tdf. who can follow
a race that takes 3 weeks and the guy that wins every day is not
the winner yo? at a 'cross event, the audience is outside during
the best months of the year, all venues are pedestrian friendly, all
events are 60 minutes or less, and the noise and the colors and
the chill in the air all rock my effin' world atmo.

yeah, what e-RICHIE said. For me, it has as much to do with it happening "...outside during the best months of the year." When you pull up to the venue there's likely frost on the pumpkin and leaf litter strewn across the ground with dew on the grass. Also, it's the only cycling discipline where the crowd makes a difference. In yesterday's race there was a run-up that I thought I could ride. However, the first few times through, there were lapped riders running it and I couldn't get a clean shot at it. On lap 3 I got my chance and went all out and made it. The crowd lined up on the hill went ballistic - shaking cow bells and yelling. The next time through I rode it again and they were dousing me with beer.

could a cat do a race on a single speed mt bike ? or better not to try?
cheers

Must be nice to race in the dry.

Fixed, my friend raced the geared races on a ss mountain bike and did pretty well last year...

[zank]

Fixed, the only risk would be loving it and then want to buy a new bike. Go for it!!

Coy, you are the freakin man. Nice job yesterday! One of my teammates poored beer on me last season. Something about it brought a tear to my eye and made me think of the beer tents in Belgium.

My culinary $0.02:

Flame under that Bialetti was way too high. OTOH, sometimes one needs, and the process has to be accelerated. I understand that. ;)

That keg was Yards. Can't really do much better than that. :beer:

You forgot to mention no double yellow rule. No rolling closure issues and probably a heck of a lot easier to get a permit than a crit or rr.

the best part about 'cross is that there's no
double yellow rule, no rolling closure issues
and it's a heck of a lot easier to get a permit
than a crit or rr atmo.

of course..the comment about the balls in a vice with kicked shins.. well, i meant it in a good way. the harder the gig the more fun it is. too bad socal cross races don't resemble a nice east coast slogfest.
