Team shots -- BOOM Island


Scene: Boom Island CX, October 14th, 2007. Paul -- 2nd B2, 5th overall (on a SS) -- takes a breather following the race.

Joel clears a set of doubles. Mpls skyline in the background beyond the Mighty Mississippi.

Joel motors past the Hollywood camp on his way to first A2, 13th overall in A race.

Fleck shows a little CX spirit. Being on the DL isn't so bad, but rumor has it he'll be glad to race again ... we think.

cross lessons

this is really weird, but somehow this video has vaulted to #67 most viewed sports video today ?! I was watching the counter go up last night and this morning after I posted it. Weird. Now it's sort of stabilized around 3400 views. must be some hot babe out there called redbarn or something like that.... later,


where's the league ?

ok jeremy, you've got the jump start.. where else can you race twice a weekend for 2 months ? If you want to race bike, then 'cross is the way to go dudes.

keep praying, it's only tuesday

there is a tennis court rebuilding / expansion project going on over at powderhorn, and without giving away too much, let's just say "big piles of rain soaked dirt all in a line, more or less equally spaced , about 100 feet long, maybe 15 - 20 piles, ranging from 4 to 6 feet high" (insert smiley *here* ) . park dude says "if they're still there on sunday , do whatever you want."

'nuff said.

hudson

Hudson is turning out to be an "epic weather" cyclocross venue. This year's A race was called with 3 laps to go, on account of lightning. I'm glad they blew the wistle.. lightning is probably my least favorite weather phenomena to be outside observing. Joel and I both 'podiumed' in the A2 cat. Too bad we didn't get on the "fire hose podium" for a picture like this one, from the B1 race two years ago (did I mention epic weather?)




so here we are showing off the loot from this year's A2 race:
Joel: 1st place A2 cat, 5th overall A race
Paul: 3rd place A2 cat, 13th overall A race



'nuff said.
