Pray For Mud
Yesterday was epic for cross racing in the south (These photos are from the previous week). If you think we can't throw down the the nasty... you should have been in Leeds yesterday.As a result of the nasty conditions, no photogs showed.-so, if you have images of the muck please send them to me. The series finale and state championships will be held in Cullman, Alabama on the final date; cash and prizes will be plentiful for series winners, SO BE THERE!!!, details to follow. Have you washed your bike yet?...

ummm, cross like, rocks!
Heard that yesterday. I think we're off to a really good start. I'm still too hazy to post of any significance, so I will lead you here: PICS Oh, and if you're thinking that a mtb is such an advantage on this course...think again. I will be reconfiguring the course to make mtb's pay the ultimate weight penalty!!! the climb will have 3 more s-turns similar to the one on the downhill. There will be a barricade at the bottom of the steep pitch (this 27# mtb sucks!!) and the downhill will have 1 or two more chicanes. The barricades will be spaced properly this week as well, so you don't have to 1/2 step the 2nd one. If you have suggestions, leave them in the comment section below.

Parking and Course
When you enter the park keep going until you see the soccer fields on your right and softball fields on your left, there will be a circle straight ahead. Park in the softball field gravel parking lot. Ride/Walk through the circle and over the bridge. As soon as you are across the bridge, look to your left, there is a path down the hill, go down, under the bridge. You will see the double track path. This path goes all the way to the horse farm. I will spray arrows in hideous construction orange to guide you. Once at the horse farm, registration will be at the barn. If you have someone with special needs, let me know and we will park you at the farm.
The course: 1.2 mi. start/finish will be on a flat dirt road, approx. 350 meters long, straight into an open grass area to the sand pit. From the sand pit, small up to a double track path ~100 meters long into the open power line area. Small downhill, long gradual climb to the barriers which will be situated at the bottom of a grunt run up. Remount at the top and short flat to a sharp righthand downhill sweeper small uphill then straight downhill, hold onto the bars and grit your teeth...smokin downhill on a cx bike is a blast. Bottom of the downhill and you turn back into the start/finish area. Bring the knobs, you'll need 'em!
