Who is doing what this season? Any of you heading over to Nats? I've been racing my a** off all month racing both SS and A to help finish off the fitness. Big target for me this year will be the Cross Crusade Series
It's a drive, but well worth it! I bet we break 1500 racers next weekend.i'm trying to get as many of the crusades in as possible, i go to school in ashland so the southern oregon series as well, and of course nats! i can't wait
Nice work Brett, you finished where you started in 7th!
I was just going to post that!
Good point, I hadn't thought of that! Here is a photo from VN
Is Justin Finn still racing for you guys? I haven't seen him out this year. I know he is working on his PhD...I was just going to post that!
I haven't heard from Justin since the summer but if he's racing, he's racing for us. Massachusetts takes care of it's own.Is Justin Finn still racing for you guys? I haven't seen him out this year. I know he is working on his PhD...
You should get a few more west coast guys on your bikes. When Justin raced he answered a lot of questions from people who owned a Spooky back in the day. For those of us around in 90s, the Spooky brand brings back memories. Our races in Oregon are insanely large and people love to buy unique bikes. That's part of the reason you see so many Vanillas, DeSalvos, Ira Ryans, Tonic, etc. Out of 1500 racers, Justin was the only one I ever saw on a Spooky
I have a pretty good deal right nowHe should sponsor you of course
I also see no Spooky road frames in Prospect Park - wink wink nudge nudge
my mom's a flight attendant so i've been flying up the last few weekends, so much fun. last weekend in rainier was brutal, 34c on the back didn't quite have enough clearance for that peanut butter. the birdsnest in my CS nearly rubbed the decals off my brand new tires, yikes. i'll be driving up this weekend with a friend for sherwood, can't wait to hate cyclocross again.It's a drive, but well worth it!

Yeah, I had a crap race at Rainier. I don't know about you, but I never felt like I could find a line in that crap. I wish it would have rained all day instead The course this weekend will be fun. That course is fast and twisty when it's dry. Personally...I would rather it pour down rain from now till thenmy mom's a flight attendant so i've been flying up the last few weekends, so much fun. last weekend in rainier was brutal, 34c on the back didn't quite have enough clearance for that peanut butter. the birdsnest in my CS nearly rubbed the decals off my brand new tires, yikes. i'll be driving up this weekend with a friend for sherwood, can't wait to hate cyclocross again.
Did you race it last year? PIR never disappoints. Since I started racing cross in '06 PIR has always been a muddy messi thought sherwood was a blast, i don't mind the dry, but i agree with more rain. PIR is supposed to be a bucknasty slop fest though, i'm stoked
Oh no! So did you race at Hillsboro yesterday still?Went to a small cross race here in Salem, had a stupid crash, and ended up with 5 staples in my knee It's a little stiff, so warm up is going to be key for me today (and staying upright). I asked the Dr 101 questions about staples vs stitches because he gave me the choice. In 10-14 days the pliers will be coming out to remove em!
Yeah, best I could manage was 6th. I was really hoping to contest for the win since I did so well there last year...I just didn't have it. Did you come out? It was a massive mud bog, tons of fun!Oh no! So did you race at Hillsboro yesterday still?
No, we stayed in Bend and mountain biked. Not sure if we'll make the trip over the pass again this winter.Yeah, best I could manage was 6th.

I don't blame you. If nothing else, I'll see you at Nationals! I'm also thinking about contesting the mountain bike series next year...so I'll be in Bend during the Spring/Summer.No, we stayed in Bend and mountain biked. Not sure if we'll make the trip over the pass again this winter.
