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.

Tell me at least that you are gonna be at the Tacchino Ciclocross in Leesburg, VA next weekend? (BTW, $300 well spent, and that green Salsa looks like an awesome rig).

Yup I'm going to be at the tacchino ciclocross, I wouldn't miss a chance to kick your butt! Send me an email at bluedog18 at hot mail. I'm be running a winter cyclocross series in Jan & Feb at motorcross track right outside Shippensburg.
