A running account of the "race without an entry fee"..... The Tuesday night ride

CheshireCross 07

If i could use this forum to just say thank you to all that came out for the Cross race. All the Stage 1 guys... It was awesome. I have already gotten a couple of emails about "the hill" and how fun a scene it was. You guys know how to make a good time out of it...Thanks again!

Saturday was a blast. i forgot how much cross can hurt. no wounder i only do it once a year. one of the guys got some great pics of the race. (velo news quality) i will foward them to you hunter. great course run by a great bunch of guys. cheshire cycle crew needs to pat themselves on the back for a job well done. hopefully next year you do not have a schedule conflict with a uci race in nj. i am sure it wont be long before word gets out and you start attracting some big name pro's. thanks again, already looking forward to next year.

Cross is AWESOME. Anyone who hasn't ever done it should try to as soon as possible. I'd like to think that the Cheshire course is not too tough and that it forces the not so technical guys to suffer a bit. I know from experience, as Nathanial Ward was eeking out a little bit on me with every corner b4 i flatted. He was on rails thru the slickness!

If anyone has any suggestions, lets hear em. I am open to comments ( and I heard more than few on Saturday, everybody's a critic it seems.....)

thanks for getting me the photos Chris, I have already sent one of "Bad Santa" to the Velonews readers contest. Hopefully we will see it soon.

i figure if everyone submits the one per week that you are allowed, CheshireCross will be bigger than the Mount Washington Hillclimb by next fall.
