I'm not a Slacker. I'm just busy.
So now it's up to me an the NY KX Kontingent to make the Series happen. Sunday ,we did!
We laid out a new course with the
Endless Spiral (Thanks Kelly) ,The Prayer a section of barriers that offered an option to the riders and The Wall of Death was extended. We also used areas of the yard we never have making our longest course yet.
The race had the highest turnout of riders yet. 60 We even had a road pro Cory Burns. He rocked the course faster than ever. Making the steep hill, that most walked, look like it wasn't even there. See a video of the spiral at http://spokepost.com/ . Our little race also made Velonews and Cyclingnews.com.
Riders got a bit of swag from Finish Line. Thanks Stephane. Wegmans gave us some cash for food to feed the horde. But it was the plates by the second graders that were most coveted.
Road ID supplied numbers and gift certificates. Thanks everyone who helped or raced. Overall our best race yet.

Next up is the Dave Panella Memorial. Dave left us last year on 11/13/06. But we know he's watching and stoked about a race in his name. http://web.mac.com/steve.edgar/iWeb/Cross/DavePenella.html
We're trying hard to make a very spectator friendly course. 90% will be able to be seen. As this is a race on DRIVING RANGE! The spirals, the prayer and the rhythm section will be viewed with love or hate by the riders. Cool prizes. A chili cook off to feed the exhausted riders. Homemade bread. Cd's from Dirt Farm. Cowbells from the Patriots. NY Cross Contingent hats for the riders.
We'll see if Pierre can hang onto the series lead. Myself with a good ride I could move into 3rd in the series after skipping a race. Then I'll saddle up the SS cx rig for open men and see how the one gear queer does on that with back to back races.
See you there. OGQ
