Too much to cover and a lot of work to do today. We finally got our chance for cake during the last crit of Fall Fling. In the end, when you’re a cat 4, cake is all that matters. We went into the last crit with a formidable team. The fact that it was the …
Good BH Showing. Cat 4 – 3rd-Eric Christ, 6th-Tim, 13th-Psimet, 14th Justin Sommerville, 19th-Raviv Wolfe, 22st-MJH2, 25th-RR – Total of 32 I believe. Post TT analysis of the overall. Check the tabs. The first one is the overall with those who don’t have at least 2 events so far removed (disqualifying them for the overall) …
Yes I skipped the report out from Fall Fling stages 1 and 2. Meh. Not much to report. We had a lot of good numbers but only managed to get Tim in the top both days. Fun races. Slow races. Maybe the two go hand in hand if you’re a hack like me. At one …
Obscure Omiums – For the Win (FTW) Fall Fling is this weekend and I have not ridden my road bike in a long time. I have been swamped building wheels. The riding I have done has been cross. I have ridden a few cross rides out of the shop (3 so far) and 3 bandit …

Swap from Road to TT setup…1.5 hours. Full size crank, corn cob DA (it was given to me…I wouldn’t waste money on that kind of loss of durability) cassette. Cages are gone. So are my excuses.Results from last year. I must crack 23. Pre-ride is tonight. …I’m Batman.
I mapped out what I believe to be the course based on what ABD had listed on their website. for some reason whenever I try to embed MapMyRide routes into my blog now it bombs out so you’ll have to follow the link.http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/il/maple-park/577839343547 Basic stats: 9.25 miles with approx 210ft of climbing (I don’t like …
Some discussion over at BF had me going back to the results to complile my own version of the overall scoring for the Cat 5/Citizens field for Fall Fling.
