Stupid Groundhog....

Six more weeks of winter = blah!!

So the CX World Championship = blah!  Kind of Grass Crit-ish.  I am not a fan of the UCI mvoement towards faster courses.  I like a course where the best BIKE rider whens not the rider with the biggest engine on any given day wins.  TA great cross course should reward those with superier bike handling/line selection and punsih those without.  

Congratulations to Brian Matter JPow, and Matt Shriver for an awesome season and performance at Worlds!  Too bad JP had so much drama again this year, hopefully his sponsrs will stand by him and he can come back next year stronger and motivated. Too bad Trebon got taken ot by some camera equiptment - pretty crappy - he seems to have some bad Karma at big races (KC 2007)
Overall I feel that the US team represented well!  The women killed it, the juniors, and U23 held their own to some very respectable results.  Can't wait to see what next season brings!

Despite the Groundhogs predictions I still managed to ride outside this morning.  I'll take 6 more weeks of winter if the temps stay up in the double digits.
