observations from the belgian supercross

Here are a few things that I observed at the belgian supercross:

• the Belgian Club is way cool; if the Fox and Hound were not so damn convenient, this would be the place to meet - imported Belgina beers are only $4.25
• cyclocross rocks and is the most spectator friendly type of bike racing around short of velodrome or a knock-down derby
  
• you can get mayonaise with your french fries
• wet leaves + mud on pavement + generally wet conditions = plenty of spills (+ the occasional tossed bike because of frustration - neat)
• spd pedals + mud does not = successful pedaling
• folk dancers during the awards ceremony, no podium girls, just folk dancers
  
• did I mention they had Belgian beer
• its embarrasing to hear your name called for a prize and your in the can - couldn't figure out why Scott from Olympia did not want to shake my hand???

Psychocross is this Sunday - if your at all interested in trying a race
