cross practice

Looks like I will be learning what riding in the Mud/Rain is all about! Assuming that CX practice is still on for today.
 
this weds I wont be able to set up the cross practice because of back to school night. Go there and ride I am sure people will still show up. :cry:
 
Cross practice is on for this weds. Hot laps start at 6:00 sharp. Get there early to pre-ride the course
 
its gotta be 5pm now, probably the last one of the year with mr daylight savings creeping around the corner
 
sorry just saw the question about start time. it was 5:30 start time. we did one session in the dark with lights and it went pretty smooth. next week 11/6 it will be 5:30 again. bring your lights. the last day of cross practice will be 11/27
 
Great time at Otto's last night. Warm, dry (ish), and fast. Scott Sugent came down from the heights of North Jersey to join in the fun. Sure, six riders doesn't SEEM like a lot, but when it's dark, it's hard to tell...

Fun things about cross with lights:

When you're about to be passed, you get lit up. Literally. As your shadow gets shorter, if you've got anything saved for that last little push, it's go time.

Deer are scary at night.

If your lights aren't that great, you've got an add'l incentive not to lose that explosively incandescent wheel in front of you.

Jim's tail-light.

Packing up while watching Ilya reel solo lap after lap off into the night like a crazed bat-hunter.

The moon.

We started pre-riding at 5:30-ish. Official start was 6 on the nose.

Thanks again to Dan Larino, who is a nut.

I have been overwhelm at work and have not been able to leave the shop early enough to make practice. I am hoping I will be there next week.
