It's hard to believe that Landahl #1 is only 24 days away. I better start riding my single speed again.

Cornbread said...

Yeah, we'll see if Landahl is ridable in 24 days. Could be a mud bath.

RF said...

I got my fingers crossed for Landahl. Hopefully its dry. Even if dry it could be interesting if thats my first time out on real dirt since November. I wonder how much handling skill I've lost.
Corey, hopefully you;ve spend the winter praying to the gods of mechanical reliability.

mathguy said...

A heads up: the Omaha CX weekend will be moved to October 4-5. The calendar at NCN is wrong.

Shim said...

In order to loose handling skills you need to start with some ;)-

RF said...

if only you could ride as fast as your mouth... perhaps than you'd catch that 18 year old. Or maybe even that old guy from iowa.

He may be old to you, but he's young to me.

The mechanical reliability gods must really hate me. Non-drive train side crank arm fell off today half way through my 10 mile commute. My right leg sure feels tired.
