USGP-Louisville, Kentucky Video and Trainer Workouts with Friends

Wow, sweet, what a find. A pretty nice video of one of my favorite races of the year.
Hopefully this year, I'll be able to make it both days ON TIME, instead of just one.
I didn't mind racing with the Masters on Saturday, but it messed up my points and mojo for racing that day for sure. First time for everything I guess.

Last night I got together with some good friends to do a trainer workout together. An hour like this flies by. I asked them to try out a workout I had planned. They were sweating like me, that was good. We watched a 2005 Cyclocross World Championship DVD during our workout, which is always exciting and depressing to watch. Exciting because of the fans attending and caliber of racing going on and depressing because their average speed is 23 mph. Although their course's are longer and way less technical with no real barriers to speak of, except for the RR tie run ups and 'fly-over's.

USGP-Cyclocross - upcoming tests

It's almost here. The U.S. Grand Prix of Cyclocross.

Since I moved up a CAT this year, I am trying to get my brain wrapped around racing with 100 plus other cross racers is going to be interesting. Maybe I should get some advice from those that raced in the "B" field last year?
Two weeks prior will be a good test in Cincinnati with a double bill of UCI racing. I love those courses. I haven't raced at Harbin Park for a few years. Last year I was not able to race, since I had some serious calf/muscle issues that are not present this year, due to all my running early in the season.
This weekend is my second cross race of the season.
I will be stepping up the aggression a bit and throwing down with the new Ridley.
