MO States CX Championships

So, a couple of days actually, sometimes ends up being more than a week. I suck, as many of you either know first hand, or are learning as I type... However, as you also know, Joe and I (hopefully) deliver when the time comes. Anyway, looking forward to see you, Out of Towners. Gimme a call or email with any questions.

Boss Cross #4 Flyer

Read it and weep. See you in December

Boss Cross Finals/MO State CX Championships - December 3 and 4

Greetings, I'll be posting flyers in a couple days for the weekend of racing, but I wanted to take a couple of minutes to communicate with you all. Listen up. First, Boss Cross finals will be on Saturday, using the normal BC categories and times. Anyone who's been to a Boss Cross races knows the score... Last year, we kind of screwed up (not a lot, but a bit) by trying to meld Boss Cross with MO State CX racing. As I said before, a couple people got hosed out of series victories and starting position due to the clumsy category sequences... So, this year, we solved it with two race days. As everyone knows, SBO folded, and we have decided to not pursue online registration. Frankly, we don't see the value in it. Our fields are not huge, it costs money, and you guys still have to wait in line. The only tangible benefit that can be identified is call up advantage. We will work out a decent callup procedure and will present it before race day. Likely it will simply be the results from last year on the front row and a cattle call for the remainder. Lemme know what you think. The races will be held at Raytown BMX, the same place as Boss Cross #3. It's bitchin. There are hotels nearby on Noland Road (to the east, about 15 minutes), and on 350 highway, about 10 minutes west of the venue. I'll post maps this weekend, but check previous posts for directions and use google. The course will change slightly from BC #3. Joe's got some ideas about how to incorporate more pavement and mix things up a bit. But, the track will be part of the course if it's dry. Work on riding it. As people who raced on Halloween weekend, they know the course is deceptively hard. You need some power, skill, and balls to ride it well. Something for everyone... See you soon.

Whew! Results!

Completely bad ass day of racing, y'all. Hope you liked the venue, and I hope you let the track managers know.... More to come, results below. results

B's for always bitchin, MX for must be extreme

I won't lie to you. The course is awesome. It's flat, so some of you think you will ride away from everyone... not so fast. While the course is fast, it's also hard. There are a couple places where you will need both skill and balls to ride your bike. Bring both. also bring your fast legs.... Most of the course is smooth and nice. But there are some bumpy sections, which you can thank the lack of rain for. As a promoter, I like the lack of rain. It's easier to look a land manager in the eye when you haven't had 200 maniacs riding through mud for 5 hours on his grass. The good thing about the bumpy sections is at least they are not in the windy sections of the course.... Thank the warm weather for the wind.... We need to thank the folks who take care of Raytown BMX for allowing us to race here. This is a place where we can have a lot of fun. Hopefully we can bring some juniors into the sport. BMX kids are naturals at cyclocross. Ask Sven Nys about it. But we also need to remember that we are guests here. When we were setting the course up today, there were several dads patching holes in the course while their kids either helped or dicked around. These guys are supporting bike racing because of love for their kids. We do it for fun for mostly adults. This puts things into perspective a bit. The course/track is located on School District property where there is a no-alcohol policy. We need to make sure there is no PUBLIC alcohol consumption, and I don't want to see any bottles/cans in the trashcans while we're picking up after you guys. Like I said, these guys are busting their asses for their kids. Let's not jeaopardize that... Joe is going to put up points later tonight. We have received the leaders jerseys from Verge, as you saw last year, they are freaking awesome. So, callups: Series leader then pre-registered, then points contenders, then everyone else. See you tomorrow. Hard and fast is the name of the game...
