are about the only things i am doing right now.
enduro races wrapping up - one this weekend and a few more to go. scheduling conflicts have been the story for me this year as i seemed to have missed out on some of the smaller races i have hit up in years past. with a lot going on this year in my personal life, turning pro, etc - i tried to concentrate on the bigger races. the debate with going to smaller races is that you chance getting hurt and a big effort that is not properly scheduled can hurt your efforts for your major events. rest plays an important factor during all of this, so you have to take that into consideration too. hopefully, the enduro calander next year will not have so many conflicts.
so - i am heading out this weekend for the last of the ultra series races - the shenandoah 100. rumor is around town that all the trek boyz will be there, and of course, harlan price will be there to collect his series win. and - gripped films will also be out there shooting footage for the eatough documentary as they are local to the area. so wear your best riding clothes and smile nice for the camera.
local series info has been posted for most of the ohio cyclocross season, with details on nationals not yet posted. scheduling conflicts most times are not an issue as it looks like i am going to hit up quite a few races this year (at least a dozen cross races) including a few UCI events, Ohio state champs and Cross Nationals in Rhode Island in mid December.
i'll have links up for the races along with my cross schedule (i'm not so secretive about that schedule!) by next week.
in the meantime, the weather for the shenandoah 100 seems to be a toss up right now. will ernesto (the hurricane) and ernesto (myself) have to face each other this weekend? needless to say, the weather will sure be an intersting opponent this weekend.
with that - gotta eat and figure out a cross wheelset for this year... decisions, decisions...

They're not BLING but take a look at Xaero XR1s for 'cross. They're approximately the same weight as Ksyrium elites, I think, and cost about $300 msrp. I haven't looked this info up, but I have been riding a pair for a while and really like them for the weight and price.
