You should have a column in Bicycling magazine. I feel now that I truly understand this cross thing. I can only hope to be called the clown prince of the East. If there are offerings of beer as you say, I will definitely partake... Only to stoke the crowd, of course.Craig, The Flanders Fat Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440903092957497625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954900981672036419.post-9743826015403475452008-10-07T08:04:00.000-04:002008-10-07T08:04:00.000-04:00so.... you're actually training for the cx race? ...so.... you're actually training for the cx race? i'm not sure that's allowed, buddy. <BR/><BR/>ya see, you just show up and ride off the back and heckal the fans as they ring their cowbells and shout encouragement as you suffer greatly. you have to smile through the pain and shout back at them telling them how much fun you're having and how crazy the guys that are actually racing are for putting themselves so deep into the hurt locker. you may want to seriously consider their offers of cold beer at the top of the run ups. it works for me. it brings cheers and adulation from the screaming hordes and makes it just that much easier to follow the race. just be careful to protect your ears if you stop for beer because that's where the cowbells are loudest.... <BR/><BR/>it is my goal to become the undisputed clown prince of iowa cyclocross and i'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. i think i can succeed at that!<BR/><BR/>good luck in your race. it's an awesome high.... :)bluecolnagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134285478201494323noreply@blogger.com
