VERSLUIS SNOWCROSS II TOMORROW

First - great ride last night, with a little soupy mud, but not too bad. Smaller, but brave group of Kim T, Eric Kimber, the one and only Bob S, Steve B, Redline Bastard, and myself. There was somebody else but they drown in a bottomless mud hole. I have some video I'll try to put together later.

Now on with the mud. I'm hoping that the temps stay warm, that everybody comes out, and we have a real Euro-Style cross race. Bring your bikes, bring your beer, and bring something to clean the muck off. Here's a little video of what real Belgy-Style cross racing is - not that sanitized World Cup stuff, here's what people like us call racing in Belgium.

Enjoy, and see you Bastards tomorrow! Reg opens at 10 the races go off at noon, party starts about 1 - 1:30. BE THERE!

  2. Don't know how muddy it will be. Not expecting a lot performance-wise, not really peaking. Spent the afternoon helping set up the course. Yeah, there might be some mud. Can't wait for that, it's awesome ...
