At dinner in Ogden Friday Night, Stephen and I were a little nostalgic remembering the golden age of amateur mountain bike racing in the nineties and early 2000's. That era is now ten years in the past, but the golden age of cyclocross just may be right now. Thanks to Dave for these pictures. As most of you know, the Sandpoint race is part of the new series partnership with Victor, Sandpoint, and Missoula. In addition to these regional races, we have a total of four additional races scheduled for Idaho Falls, Rexburg (just over 2 weeks until the Cube), and Pocatello as well as races in Bozeman, Boise, Sun Valley, and the excellent UTCX series. I don't know if the Twin Falls series has gotten back on its feet again or not. With all the other races, I have not even had time to check.
Here is the big news: Moose Cross is only five days away. It is the premier cyclocross event in Southeastern Idaho with categories for all participants from kids and beginners to experts. Please support this event if you can. www.moosecross.com
On Wednesday evening beginning at 5 p.m., Brian will be hosting another cross night at this home. There is no better way to get ready for Moose Cross and the Cube. Contact me if you need more information.
Yesterday, Dawn and I were at the Nature Park, and I was happy to see that quite a few people have been doing some reconnaissance of the Cube. Here is the thing I am not happy about: there are bicycle tracks well onto the golf course right up to the edge of green. Here is the deal we have with the city. They will let us ride along the edge of the golf course, but they will not tolerate bikes farther out on the grass and one set of tire tracks across a golf green would shut down the Cube. When you come onto the golf course at the northwest corner, please make a hard left and ride along the edge of the grass. You can help by communicating that message especially to students who are unfamiliar with the city's policy for the golf course.
