Draper cyclocross for double points
I went out today and rode the previous Draper cyclocross course. I have a feeling this time around the course will be in a reverse direction, so I rode the course in reverse and it just felt right. Some things to look out for are: the gravel roads are very loose and could cause some trouble. The singletrack is in great shape and will be VERY fast, the descent/climb by the bridge is very loose and could cause a few pile-ups, with double points on the line you better show up with your A game! Here is the data from the ride today. I hope to see all my homies that haven’t done cross this year to be there this weekend and represent the home turf. This includes: Ridin Dirty, Dug, Cyclista, Jon, Tony, Jamie, A Touch of Evil, T-bag, Covey VP, and anyone else I missed. My bike is available for the C race if you want to borrow it.
Notice the gap between the start and finish lines. That is an illusion. I didn’t include that as part of the course because that is the section where going to the “pain cave” is highly recommended!

I might show up but will be on the side lines cheering and filming.

Rick, I’ll bring the thermos of hot chocolate, you bring the foam cups and we’ll watch the chaos ensue!

I am not as tough as you. Most of the time I end up in mud is by mistake not by choice. Although everytime I think cross woud be fun, I see a picture like this http://www.tallrides.com/i/cyclocross-574.jpg and I get scared again.
