I almost didn't race. I waited until the last minute to register and when George bailed in the morning I almost followed his lead. For whatever reason, I didn't want to race in the rain which is strange, since I usually do better when the conditions get rough.

4 lap 3/4 SS race in CP. No teammates, but a few friendly faces from Rocky Point cycles and Rob Havemeyer. Since Battenkill was going on, I figured anyone with any decent form would be upstate.

George and I made the early (but not as early as the spring series) trip into NYC for Grants Tomb this year. It was a cold morning, with some snow leftover from the storm two days earlier and it was questionable as to whether we should even be racing at all. I'd never raced Grant's before, so we rolled around and scoped out the course. Three 90 degree lefts followed by a right and a 180 with some decent elevation change makes for an interesting race.

As now the CX season is pretty much finished with the UCI CX Worlds excitingly hold in Louisville this year let's look back what we got here locally.
It all started late or eventually not at all, thanks to the devastating impact of super storm Sandy causing a destruction of the SICX location and LIPA/repair troops logistics related take over of Eisenhaur park.

Last minute decision for GAB Py to join some of the LLV women's for a road trip to CT via ferry for some first CX fun at Hope Brook. A great and fun race setting!

But eventually WLSCC got off ground a few weeks later at some emergency relocated setting. Weather on the rescheduled weekend was fair, very moist to wet.

Later the local Kreb Cycle Kings Park CX got off grounds.
