1) The sweetest cyclocross race in the world is just over a month away. You won't want to miss this. Sadly, I will miss it this year. But at least I'm in the south.
It sounds like there are lots of other exciting events on the local MB cx calendar: Unhappyland, Supercross at the Belgian Club, and Provincials at the Forks? See MUCR for more. Sounds like Menno Cross will happen once again this year too. Posters may be sent to fortgarrybikeclubATgmailDOTcom.
2) As for me, the NCCX Calendar is finally out. The season starts a bit later down here. But it lasts a lot longer.

Looks like there are some others too, but these are the ones that constitute the two series.
3) XC8 this weekend for some. Have fun and good luck.
4) Here's a sneak preview of a little idea I've been cooking up. This one's only in the initial planning stages. It's based on PMBAR and its related races. Kind of like an endurance alley cat. In the forest. I hope to make it over to Double Dare in October and find out a bit more about how they do it. For lack of anything more creative, let's call it WMBAR for now. It will take some time to sort out all the details, but rest assured it will be awesome. If it actually comes to fruition. We will see. At the very earliest, it would probably be fall of 2009. The Spring Ride could involve some reconnaisance.
5) Meanwhile, we've almost ticked off 100 days on the Spring Ride countdown. We're well over a quarter of the way there. Sweet.

I am assuming that Southern Cross and Menno Cross will not require a MCA license, same as last year?
BTW, Mr. President, are we going to be installing the bike rack Saturday?
Mr Impaler
Why don't you ask dr. h about the rack installation... he's still in charge of events.
Johnny S and Halberto are doing Southern Cross. Check with them. But save yourself the trouble and get a license. If Dave L can do it . . . .
Mr. Impaler -
I think Scott W. was talking about buying day insurance for the Bourkevale race (Nov 9th) - of so, no license needed for that either.
Yup, we are purchasing day insurance for Bourkevale so no licence is required. There will also be a live band and hot food - and a $5 gas rebate for out of towners.

We were talking about asking the Paul Bergman band to play at the top of the hill in Altona. But the band wants to race.
Holy Gas Rebate!! I may have to step up and find a cx bike!
