October 4, 2011 practiceCX

Looks like tomorrow is Tuesday. Guess that means???? It's practice time. Ya'll know the drill. Get there, practice those lines, and get faster.

The only minor change this week will be the starting time. We're going to roll back the start to 5:30pm EST to beat the sunset. Tomorrow is going to be a nice do so we'll use every bit of the light we have to practice. I'll be there by 4:30 to set up.

If you don't help set up, please help tear down so we can all finish up and drink beer quicker.

Once again, we'll be at the crossditch behind Jesse Owen's Memorial Stadium.

Skills Practice on Thurs 28 - I can't make it

Folks,
sorry I had to move around my schedule for personal reasons and I won't be able to make it to Wyman Woods on Thursday.

If anyone is interested, I suggest you hit up the park and practice and hone those skills.
If you are racing both days, I would suggest not too much hard effort, but focus on skills, trees, turns, barriers, mounts, remounts, off-camber, etc.

RE: Tues Sept 27 Practice

Everyone,
great job and hats off to Spencer and crew for setting up another sweet, hill climbing twist-fest for practice. I'd say easily this practice space is one of the best places we've found and seems to provide more than enough challenges for everyone.

You might have noticed (or maybe not?) the courses getting harder each week, this is on purpose and for good reason. All those short-steep hill climbs, longer laps, off camber hill climbs, wide sweeping fast turns, will all come in handy at some point this race season. When you encounter hills or anything else thrown at you during practice, come race time - you can reach into your deck of cards, pull them out, throw them down behind you and show Cleveland your wake.

It seems many of you are really starting to find your groove, cornering, trusting your tires and pedaling power. Some impressive efforts from a bunch of you last night. It was nice to see a cross section of riders out there giving it their all and working through their own challenges. Thank you to the ladies for also showing up and getting involved in cross.

I'd guess there was about 35-40 or so of you that braved the sprinkles to come out and show your mettle. Everyone stayed around into dusk for 4-more laps of fun, then put in the effort to assist in tearing down the course.

I did see some new faces out there. If you need help, with anything please don't hesitate to reach out to me, Mason, Tim Sholl or Layne. We would all gladly help where we can.

So why don't you put it all together and come out this weekend to race?
