lulz

I like Town Hall. Totally different experience from Whirlybird. I wasn't particularly satisfied with my ride, but didn't get lapped by Ragot, who got a 2 min headstart. I'm ready for my new van Dessel frame, which seems to be stuck in customs.

Here are some photos from yesterday:

that's actually part of a bagel

Cooper River Cross is looking more interesting.

Damn

We look good as hell

I'm pretty open to ideas for next weekend. I see uncle sam GP up in albany and Cooper River. anything else?

Mike, I was also thinking of hitting one or the other of those on Saturday, but not Sunday. Any thoughts as to which is better?

I'm leaning towards Cooper River, but it is Sunday only. Marc enjoyed Uncle Sam GP last year, I don't know much about it.

I'm signed up for Cooper River, but haven't figured out my ride yet. Anyone have room?

Me too - I'm signed up for the Cooper River C race at 12:50 and need to figure out a ride.

Im signed up for the NJ Sunday race, Mens B. Happy to drive and share costs.

I am signed up for the B race. I am a potential driver, but I may need to swing down to my parents house in Toms River Saturday night before heading to the race, so I need to wait on committing to drive others.

I have a birthday party to go to at - of all places - FBF - Aviator Sports... Then ride around FBF with wife and child. Oh fun.... Sigh!

Hey, no results posted to crossresults for Town Hall? (How am I supposed to do this week's hot list? Jeesh.)

Not a problem if you are staying in the MAC series, but if you had a good result on Saturday or Sunday, and were hoping to have your point total updated in time to give you a better start position the next weekend in a New England race, you are out of luck. I think they do new calculations on Wednesdays.

I really hope whomever is doing our finish-line timing at SuperCross is a little more pro and gets the results posted online lickety-split.

waiting in suspense for this weeks hot list

Marc - Town Hall results

Can someone explain to me how after a single cross race ever Ben Turrell is predicted to win Staten?

And I'm dead last of the ranked riders, I mean don't they know about my charm and good looks that wilts knobby roots and barriers with a single wink?

They must've looked into the fact that I don't have a cross bike and will be running the course with my road bike on my shoulder.

^in flip flops?

Hey, who's the Kissena at Iron Cross?

We want a race report!!!

Lot of good Kissena photos from Town Hall here

Anyone interested in riding at Cunningham on Saturday morning?  I have cones.

Any idea about using Randall's Island instead of Cunningham?

Randall's is certainly easier for me.  Although, I am always worried that a soccer game will get in our way or an over-zealous Park's employee will kick us out.  If anyone can allay my concerns, I'm happy to give it a shot.

My plan for tomorrow is to start sometime around 9:00 AM, work on skills a bit, and then do some short "races".  I'm racing for real on Sunday, so nothing too crazy.

No time for a Hotlist update this week unfortunately, between work, sister visiting, getting ready for the weekend (Uncle Sam on Saturday and Cherry Hill, maybe on Sunday), there's just no time. I mean I could just post crossresults' rankings...but that would be boring and not entirely accurate. We've got hot cat 4s messing up the mess and it's going to take some finesse to sort them out. Next week though, I'm on vacay and will have more time for a full post.

Who's racing this weekend?
