Getting close

Less than 2 weeks before the big Nascar opener of Erik's Spring Cup at Harmon Park. Where has the spring gone? We have had March weather for the past 2 months. I've only been on the dirt training 1 time so far. Whats up with that? I'm going to do a local TT or two here to get some race intensity in. Tuesday group rides are going on too.



Last year Erik's was a group ride the entire time with an average of 19mph. I don't think it will happen this year. Doug and Jeff will be back, and with the weather not being so nice to ride in, I think fitness will be sporadic throughout the field. We'll see what happens; the first race is always nervous because nobody knows where everyone else is at and the body kind of forgets what its like after a long winter.

2 more weeks of school left too!

Hey Eric,
Which local TTs are you doing?
Harmon..yeah, definitely more akin to a cross race, but oh well, it gets the masses out.
The tough/traditional MNSCS racing will start at Afton=)

Mud race would be fun, slow things down. Fitting to way this spring has been.

Last year I never used my mud bike. Uh oh, is that a jinx?
Last year WORS was plagued with muddy races while we were left high and dry. I think Powder Monkey would be EPIC in the rain. Can you imagine going up that new single track climb next to the Puker in mud? If it did rain I think they would just send us up the Puker anyhow.
