Horseshoe Scramble has been rescheduled to 11/1…previously slated to happen on 9/21……got the word via email from the director

Or rather there is no more Horseshoe Scramble. He wrote me back a 2nd time and said there are going to be no more events there. Craigmeur is the new venue Wherever that is

That race was, I believe, Chabanov's first 'cross race.  (It was also the only 'cross race I've ever dnf'd.  I was demoralized after having been lapped twice by Roger Aspholm...and I had a coughing fit..okay?.)

That was my first also , didn't do as well as Chabonov ,

When did Clint Eastwood race for Kissena?

Clint has a way of doing that. Showing to Gloucester without any notice on the forum (how dare he?), starting at the back of the field, racing past 1/2 of them, being bummed he didn't "do better." And then disappearing behind a camera and a white sail with a mind of it's own.

Bummed I have to miss this. High quality racing (lots of climbing) very close to the city. A good friend of mine is getting married that weekend in Chicago.

WTF, I'm in my 40s already, all my friends are supposed to be done getting married and shit?!?! #thingsIdontmissaboutmy20s30s

embrocation shelf life? got a pretty robust collection, but all about 5 years old, cause I've been out that long. keep or get a new?

Try it does it still heat and not smell like a dead whale, then you're good.

Maybe invest in an embrocation cellar. I hear some of those New England guys have 20 year old embros they keep at cross temps year round.

7pm on randalls island 

Mud this weekend??????? Fuck yeah!!!!!

Cross posting. I've written an essay. An editor wants pictures (my words are never enough...). Of folks riding their cross bikes in/around the city. Help a brother out? Send to: marcbertucco@yahoo.com

I know we have them. Someone bring a camera to Randalls island practice and get a picture of Chabanov Brittlee with skyscrapers in the background?

Someone go riding with Garrigan and get a shot of him riding some PP peloton Punk into the barriers?

Or something...

Thanks!

Anybody doing the out n back for nittany? Doing the b race, so looking at a midday arrival both days

But the good news is, the photog who was at the Rapha Women's ride was there snapping away all night. I'm sure he got AMAZING shots - get in touch with him and see what kind of deal you can work out.

Who dat? Name? Website? Any clues?

Speak of the devil...I think a shot by a David Hall just appeared on my FB page! Is this the dude?

If you are getting paid for this essay, better get ready to pay whoever gives you a photo.

I don't expect to get paid. In fact, last year when I wrote a race report for Supercross...straight news reporting, I think they wanted us to pay them to publish it.

Myles took over, not sure if we paid up, or they realized that they are supposedly a magazine/website that reports on all things CX, and just published it "gratis."

Anyway, no cash for me then, and certainly not now. I do toy with the idea of offering up my services during cross season, since I'm there watching all the big New England/Mid-Atlantic pro races anyway, but honestly, the amount of work versus what you get out of it? Not worth it.
