maybe a little obsessed

Maybe it's because it's all so new. Maybe it's the competition of it all. I don't know, but I find myself aimlessly wandering around the internet watching Cyclocross videos, thinking about the race next weekend.

That's right, the next Sioux Falls Cyclocross sponsored by Spoke-n-Sport is Oct. 23 at Tuthill.

I was told by a source close to the negotiations that the course has been mapped out and there is less hill in this version than Legacy, which really was pretty steep when you get down to it. That's good news because I can haul pretty good on the flat on the 1x1. In any sort of sanctioned event those 3 inch tires would be illegal. Thankfully we don't go for that sort of thing around here. Bad news - sand. I wouldn't put some mud by these people.

I'm hoping that we get a bigger crowd than last week. Not that 15 riders was bad but it would be fun to have a big pack. I think there's a lot of interest and everybody knows where Tuthill is so that will help.

Then Nov. 13 at Spellerberg should be a real adventure. Should be cold. Maybe snow. Sleet. That sort of thing.

Here's some of that Cross vid I was talking about.
