Hey no pressure!

This morning I got email from Mark telling me that my name is in RED for this weekend Wonderland Cyclocross Race. Some of you out there might be saying what? But if you race cylocross most likely you know that means on the race predictor on CyclocrossResults that I'm listed to come in 1st place or I'm going to be a big loser. I doubled check most of the riders' stats and there really only two riders who will give me a run for my money. I'm not expecting to come in 1st but I do see a top 5 spot and get an upgrade point. But hey like Mark said no pressure.



The midnight edit: I'm dissappointent by the end of registration tonight 10 more riders sign up for my race and one person who's results are slightly better than mine has bump me from the 1St place in the prediction. I was hoping when I got home from work today (figures it was teacher/ parent night at work and I didn't get home until 9) to use my screen capture to capture the moment and now I've been rob of that. Ok, I'm not that upset but still pretty cool if you ask me. And by the way for Sunday race; Tacchino Ciclocross in Leesburg, VA, I'm predicted to come in 8th out of over 60 some riders.

WTF! No racing this weekend.

That's right, you heard it right no racing. I was planning to race both days at the US grand Prix of Cyclocross at the Mercer Cup. I missed the race last year for a wedding and as much as I want to do the Mercer Cup, it's not happening for me. I need a break and can't justify Spending two night in a hotel, driving over 3 hours one way for a race 8am and only for 30 minutes long. I'm sorry 30 minutes isn't be long enough to move through a large field unless I'm in the first 5 rows. The way I look at is I can spend over $300 for a short race in NJ or have my Chris King hubs laced up to some tubular rims for the same cost. You do the math.

As you can see from the picture from above, I got plenty to do. I have nice long list of things to fix on both bikes. Maybe I'll update my blog this weekend too. For all those at there planning to race, have a fun & safe race this weekend.
