the pre ride - again

i was pretty excited to pre ride the course today. i really wanted some fast hurdle practice. o'day and i got there a bit early hoping to beat the crowd. normally the thursday night hurdles are stowed away under some bleachers near the baseball diamond. only problem is the entire section of bleachers were gone! and of course no hurdles. damn. the rest of the normal crew arrived and we began to ride around the course. local hero mark lovejoy had the course all marked out so we did about 4 or 5 laps. just a quick word about sunday, totaly hurt box. there is absolutely no flow to this course at all. 2 sections of grass have some roll but everything else is like riding over a mine field. it is really hard. i have a feeling things will seperate very quickly on sunday. i really hope i can hang on. it doesn't matter if i can go over barriers quick or not, the run up will kill me as well as the famous off camber section behind the ice rink. oh my. very bumpy. throw in some apples and you may go down. be aware. this is the only memory i have from last year, total hurt box.



local A2 riders Brian and Andy. 2 guys you don't want to mess with on a tuesday night dirt road ride. any rihno that wants to come down and see the pain...barton park 6pm sharp.



national stud brandon dwight looks ready if he is in need of a bike change. this guy graced us with his appearance at the davisburg UCI event earlier this season. i'll be reading about him on velonews and his experiences in europe. i'll also see him run people down at nationals.


rain saturday night?
