08.10.05 - what the heck?

24 Hours of Adrenalin. hmmmmm. what is up with them changing dates? seriously had everything scheduled out months ago - flights, cars, help, etc. well, lets just say that they better waive the fees for the tents or else sologoat is going to be super ticked off. i don't know why exactly they changed dates, but it's a little silly to changing dates on that big of race this late in the game.

looks like the rest of the year for me is panning out as such:

08.18 - NORBA - SNOWSHOE MARATHON
08.20 - SUICIDE 6
09.03 - SOLO WORLDS 24 HOURS
09.28 - INTERBIKE
10.08 - CONYERS GEORGIA 24 HOURS
10.15 - IRON CROSS - TENTATIVE

probably won't do the 12 hours in vegas as that is way too close to the georgia race, which is really not too much of a bummer because i can do the iron cross on the 15th if i want. not holding my breath on do it though - we'll have to see how my body is holding up at that point. from what i hear, it's a pretty cool event.

and then, cross season starts.

i'll be doing the BIKE AUTHORITY series again. here is the schedule:

10/23/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #1 Vermillion, OH
10/29/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #2 Bay Village, OH
11/06/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #3 Broadview Hts, OH
11/13/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #4 Broadview Hts, OH
11/19/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #5 Bay Village, OH
11/27/2005 Bike Authority Cyclocross Series #6 Copley, OH

check out their link above for all info. in the "a" field, the most noteable rider showing up is former national road champ paul martin (formerly of the navigators). last year i finished 2nd in the series to him and actually had one totally super awesome cross day where i riding like a man possessed and i actually beat him for my first ever "a" race cross victory. i was so super happy that day.

i'll also hit up 2 other local cross races as well - one i believe is around the interbike time and the other is a friends race that may happen on october 30th.

sooooooooooo...

that leaves me like one month where i can sleep in past 7am on the weekends. jeez, i think i should of picked an easier sport. ah, but our sport is so much fun. it's like a drug and i'm an addict. as i have said before, if you don't have the passion for it, it probably won't work out - whatever that "IT" may be.

oh, and a few more links to throw at ya'.

i think JEFF KERKOVE may have mentioned these article on his blog, but my buddy trissy tris (formerly roommate and member of the irma street posse) filled me on these links. here they are.
