Josh,
I'm going to the Morris County race Saturday and probably West Point Sunday. (better than West Point two days in a row, if only to avoid boredom) Saturday, the family is coming along. Sunday not sure of the plan yet. I'll do the A's both days. Maybe I can get me some points and stuff.

I've never heard anyone use "boredom" and cyclocross in the same post. I actually like racing a 2nd day at the same venue, because it gives you an opportunity to race/ride on a similar course which gives you an opportunity to fix some mistakes you may have made on day 1. Naturally the course changes somewhat, but I've found, that there's enough that remains the same to give you a chance for a "do-over."

Unfortunately, I'm working this weekend, so no riding for me...

^vacation is OVER!

^ I thought the same thing, but only because his post was less than 2,000 words.

As I mentioned on a separate string entitled "Cyclocross at Central Park of Morris County" :

I'm headed out to the race the Morris County NJ 40+ Cat 4 race at 2:15 this Saturday. I can take two riders and their bikes along if anyone is interested in going. I'll be leaving Brooklyn at about noon. I can probably stick around for the general Cat 4 race which starts at 3:00 but would have to head back as soon as that ends. Contact me directly at neilxross@yahoo.com or 917-579-6580 if you're interested in going.

I'm tentative for Westpoint on Sunday. I'd probably be doing the 4's at 1:00. I'll post when I know if I''m definitely going and of I can take others with me.

Im racing the 4s in west point I need a ride wiling to pay for gas anyone raceing this sunday?
