A piece of the true 'cross

Because it's just been too warm and dry so far this 'cross season, and because my separated shoulder is just beginning to feel ready for more action, and because I love the sound of excited Dutch in the morning, and because 'cross riders need to stop being snobs and start spending some time on a mountain bike to learn some actual handling skills...

Now thats the type of course we need here in MN Pinchie. Not one course this season has challenged the skill level of the riders. The promoters should watch some euro cx races some day to see what cx is really supposed to look like. posers.

cx rapido

pinchers,

Bjorn Selander - who races in europe - commented that the Grumpy's/Little Guy Racing CX race at the velodrome was the closest thing to his experience in Euro racing that he's seen in MN. Were you there to see it? It was far harder than most expected out of the terrain. Oh, and somehow they found a lot of mud to direct us into?!
