I think you have the dates off for Town Hall and Harriman. 9/30 is a Monday. But I get the gist..
Cyclocross!

@mperlberg No Nittany or Northampton? No Whirlybird? Both are great September races. No need to do Training Races if you've got a month from those until you race.

@Andrew - we will be brothers-in-shitty-arms . . . i'm also rocking the PerfromanceBikes.com Scatooter, though I'm considering rattle-canning mine tonight . . . too embarrassed.Andrew Da Silva said:I guess ill race cross this year. Bringing back the old skat man.

My schedule (either Masters 35+ or Elite depending on what people are doing). Maybe I'll hook up for some other local races.
Sept 7/8 - Nittany CX
Sept 28 - Town Hall CX
Sept 29 - Harriman CX (tentative)
Oct 5 - Independence Cross (I'll do this one as I love the course and the beach).
Oct 6 - Independence Cross - This is Mullica, so different than the day before but still a drive to nowhere.
Oct 12 - Whirlybird CX
Oct 26 - HPCX
Oct 27 - HPCX
Nov 2,3 - CycleSmart (Northampton)
Nov 10 - Bubble CX
Nov 23, 24 - SuperCup / Club Championship (either racing or helping run the show)
Nov 30 - Probably done, but Sussex is a possibility

@ Eric - I missed the boat on Nittany registration - not going to trek out there and give up a 4-day weekend at the beach to start 119th.
I could add whirlybird. In fact, I'll sign up now.
Northhampton --- maybe if I could find some really cheap cheap cheap lodging. Otherwise, too expensive and too much travel.

This is my tentative schedule:
9/7 or 9/8 – Nitanny (not sure yet which day I can make it out there)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
9/29 – Town Hall
9/30 – Harriman (tentative)
10/5 – 10/6 – Providence (a family complication may prevent this but doing my best to get up there)
10/12 – Whirlybird
10/19 (and/or) 10/20 – Marty Cross (hopefully both but not sure yet)
10/26 – 10/27 – HPCX
11/2 – 11/3 – Northampton
11/10 – Bubble Cross
11/23 – 11/24 – Supercross
Maybe Sussex, maybe Horseshoe, maybe De Koude Ras, maybe Limestone, maybe nothing

@mperlberg. Get your license and do the UCI race. I'll do it with you. For Northampton you can probably stay with Liz's cousin.

I have TRP Eurox brakes on my rig. They're caca.Joaquin said:@mperlberg, thanks. Good to know. Anyone have similar or different feelings on the TRP Eurox?

Me (if I can find some tires).
Aug 23, 2013 at 07:26 PM
@Yang I have a set of clinchers if you want to borrow them...
Aug 23, 2013 at 07:37 PM
Aug 23, 2013 at 07:51 PM
it is frame clearance you have to worry about. the rims are the same diameter, so brakes will be fine. I started 'cross on a road frame, but had to look for skinny 'cross tires (27" I think).
Aug 23, 2013 at 08:18 PM
Seat stay and chain stay clearance? Because it's another old steel frame (surprise surprise) and should be okay with at those spots and the seat tube as well. I think I've fitted a 32 tire in it at one point and it definitely has room to spare for a 28.
@Jules, I'd be grateful to borrow the clinchers, just let me know when/where (trying to leave work at a decent hour today)

@Yang I'll be home most of the evening text or call me at 917-817-1362
Aug 23, 2013 at 09:05 PM
Fixing up my bike right now. Hoping to have it done in time.
Aug 23, 2013 at 09:13 PM
it depends on the frame geometry, but when I recently tried fitting a 'cross tire to an old steel frame, I had touches at the brake binder bolt. another possible problem could be clearance at the seat tube/bottom bracket or at the seat stays. you just have to try it.

Aug 24, 2013 at 04:12 AM
I'll ride. If you're driving. Bring extra water.
