Power, Rain, and a Pending Throwdown

Add 1500 young people to a campus without power and you have a perfect concoction for chaos. Now that power has been restored to our local institution of education, we can get back to the important things in life, learning and blogging.

Looks like it is going to be wet tonight, so grab your "man up" shorts and bring it! Snow levels remain too high to effect the trails, so it is just the wet we will have to deal with.

Saturday marks the last edition to this years Sac area CX series...game on for all those vying for top spots.

Sundays ride was spirited to the end. We had a peleton of six, Rock, Councilman, NoHandle, Cap'n, Bambi and me. Rounded off near the 50 mile mark with Rock taking the unofficial unofficial sprint and either NoHandle or Cap'n taking the official version of the unofficial sprint at Dave's. They were too far up the road to see. I think they announced the winner but the oxygen deprivation clearly led to some short term memory loss. Would the rightful winner please claim victory!

As we have always stated, "we are doing a lot more than just riding bikes." Well thanks to Cap'n's thoughtful email to blog central, we now know other vigilantly cyclist the world over are hearing the cry and stepping up to the plate to make this a better world. Yes my friends, I do believe that we everyone was simply armed with a bicycle, our world would be kinder and gentler (unless of course you are riding on a scooter stealing womens' handbags)! Enjoy the justice being served!


S2FT3
Not only is tonight Tuesday and the first Tuesday of the month, it is also the first ride of the new, yet to be named, decade! So grab the rig with just one and come on out to play. I say that from the bottom of my heart knowing that I will not be able to partake in tonight's ride. Alas, I am too weak to push only one gear and will be forced to flog myself at home for missing. I know the chicks who race Men's B's are probably out there tearing it up on fixies right now, getting ready to school me again. (Little do they know about my secret training.)

Weekend Update:
Word has it that Rock God, Cap'n and NoHandle put down a Classic California Road Ride on Sunday leaving all with fatigued legs. No report other than a French Town/Latrobe style loop? Any sign sprints or downhill attacks to report?

B and I took down Red Lake Peak on Sunday with my cousin. B played the roll as guide and got us up on top without any false routes, the day was perfect and getting out in the backcountry was not too bad! There could definitely be some potential for an FT3 extracurricular activity up there.

Zero, I will be there for the send off.

HOCX Report

The post New Year's ride was great. Cap'n came to the party firing on all cylinders and demonstrated some good speed and agility. Not to be out done, Rock God shared his training plan of late, which has some solid elements to it, all geared toward the final Sac CX race. Councilman and I fought it out hard OTB and all had fun. We discovered yet another new training route behind our local JC, solid! FT3 kicked off the new year in style, even pulling off the family hook-up at Starbucks!

Mandatory FT3 Euro Field Trip!
I am not sure how we would ever pull it off, or when to go, or how to afford it, but I think we all need to go to a UCI Cross race! I came across this video of the last race. I haven't a clue what they are say, all I know is the Sven Nys won after crashing! The course is psychotic but they still make it look fast...too cool!
