at the race venue - drive out was an adventure. straight accross 80 then turned north. and proceeded to drive at 80mph all the way - and was getting passed. traffic was nutz.
got to the venue. course is super dry and stupid fast, to the point at race speed it is going to be scary fast going into the corners. the transitions from cement to dirt come at very high speed, but the corners are wide.
pics up - probably not until sunday.
the ohio posse of cross racers are here in force - was here for only minutes, and ran into 4 ohio riders. look for a lot of the cleveland cross series racers in the results.
race starting position for ernesto is not too swell - 76th for the elite puts me in the middle of the 9th row. not good. there are 135 riders'ish in the race.
and for the masters tomorrow, i am in the 5th row - there are about 180 in my masters race.
totally nuts - i think if i am going to try and have a good race at cross nationals, i will need to pick up a few uci points for next year to move me up on the start line.
that's it - gotta run. been a long day.
race updates after dinner time tomorrow...

"watch for my post on tuesday - i'll post to the main page for all to read as i have been asked these questions a few times in the past week or so."
This was pertaining to my question about where you do your training in snow Ohio where the trails are covered most of the winter.
i ride the metroparks - they are snow/ice covered and a struggle to stay upright, but are blocked by wind and i don't have to deal with the traffic.
sorry - work has been crazy this week and time has been short trying to get everything ready to go out to cross nationals.
