Dept. of Big Ideas

Now that the 2010 cyclocross season has ended, the Dept. of Big Ideas has a little more time on its hands. And they have been making good use of it. There are a couple of significant projects in the works. Neither of them is anything like last year's Big Idea. But one of them involves mountains that are every bit as daunting. Maybe even more daunting. Especially since there will be no trading off of riders for this one. They are certainly more legendary. Be sure to click "view elevation." This is the proposed queen stage. There will be 10-12 other stages.




The other project is much closer to home. The newly appointed Assistant Director of Big Ideas and the Dark Lord went on a reconnaissance mission today. Hopefully, the snow will be gone by the time we return. But that we will return is a no-brainer. There will be a grandstand run-up, plenty of punchy climbs and twisty turns, as much mud as we want, a mid-course beer garden and possibly a car wreck garden to ride through, a live band. And much, much more. As if that wasn't exciting enough, all of this will go down under the cover of darkness. So fitting for the FGBC. It will be awesome. Very, very awesome.
