That was the plan. After a bunch of travel for work and then getting sick, I'm not where I'd like to be. Probably gonna wait a couple of weeks before jumping into a race. How'd Nittany treat you?

Pearl, no thanks, I made the same switch you have. I went from a bb30 standard crankset (46/38) to a gxp compact with 42/34 chainrings. Brad, sorry, I don't.

Bump. OBO on the wheelsets.

Items for sale: SRAM BB30 S900 carbon crankset; 130bcd, 172.5, 38/46 chainrings. Great condition. Used briefly before swapping to 1x10 set up with a different crankset. See pictures. $100. Two tubular wheelsets: 1) Shimano 105 hubs laced up to Mavic Reflex rims, 14-15 gauge spokes...

How are they looking? I was planning on heading up tomorrow until I saw the recent posts mentioning rain and mud. Any chance the trails are going to be dry tomorrow? Thanks!

Bah. It's all a moot point anyhow, I just realized that the race doesn't start 'til 12:30 am, I'm not staying up that late.

Thanks for the info, and I agree on all points. The coverage last year at most domestic events was pretty bad (but free) It's pretty likely that there will be plenty of next day footage/coverage on BTBtv (http://www.behindthebarriers.tv/) and as far as I can tell that will all be free. I've...

Hopefully you wouldn't allow a motorized scooter. I'm cool with whatever mode of transport gets kids moving under their own power. I see a lot of fat kids on motorized scooters, it makes me sad...

Thanks for the info. Is that just for tonight's race, or is that for a monthly subscription to Cycling Dirt?

This is very true. My wife's a teacher in a lower income area and all of the kids have expensive smart phones. The amount that people spend on data plans, cable packages and entertainment-based electronics alone is often way out of line with what they can likely afford.

Anyone know if there is any way to watch Cross Vegas tonight other than on Cycling Dirt? If not, does anyone know how much Cycling Dirt is charging? I think you need to register to see the subscription options, and I haven't done that yet. Thanks.

I can only imagine the headache of organizing, promoting and running a cross race. On top of all that, people are impossible to please and love to complain. So, whatever date(s) you settle on, thank you for doing it. The Horseshoe course is a great one.
