I'm helping to tear down afterwards and I promise to not be sober. I think I am only racing 30+ this time.

Psi, I'll probably be around the whole day. Race masters early then 4a late. Let me know if you need any help.

We've gone to this spot each year and are never disappointed. I suspect we'll be there this Sunday. Get's my vote as Official St. Charles Cross Race Pub.

Out shooting some fall colors, ran across a couple locals heading out to do some 'CROSS !!

Beautiful day here.

McNally's it is then! Thanks.

We did a "bandit" course last night. It was crazy. Really wet and covered with leaves with a hill big enough to lose traction every single time up.

Fun stuff. Thanks MJH2 for helping to set it up.

This weekend I will be staying after the race to help tear down and clean up. After that I will be heading out for drinks and food for sure. I brought up McNally's last night to luke warm reactions. I will play it by ear but I'd love to hang out with you guys afterwards.

Also...thinking of registering for 4b's this week just for poops and grins.

Just did....4b and 30+ this week. Should be a blast.

Now I need to race you TOO? *sighs*

Psi,

Do you have any costume contests, formal or informal, at the race? I'll happily throw in a couple of 6 packs of decent beer as prizes.

nero...Indeed....in....deed.....I am already looking forward to it.

Flanders - I know that there will be a lot of surprises - same as every other course/race this year. I believe there will be prizes of some sort for different things. I don't remember all the details and couldn't tell you if I did...or I would be made to walk the plank.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGh.

Hey nero....with Mr. Scrooby getting your shot on Chicrosscup.com you are going to have a fan following bigger than ever for this race.

It certainly seems so. This is starting to get embarrassing. :-) Rodrigo confirmed he'll be there sunday, so I have someone to race again.

You're racing me man....don't forget that.... :D

it would take a minor miracle for me to stick with you even to the first corner :-) But I'll try.

No flaming coffin barriers at Washington Park in Milwaukee this year (we could have used the heat!), but there was a good turnout and some great racing anyway.

Will be in St. Charles tomorrow.

Yo ... what's the best way to get to the St. Charles race from Wisco El Norte?

Is this it? http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,0.883026&z=10

The bumble bee is awesome! :thumb:

Awesome race in ILL. Absolutely *GREAT* superfanning! Pix shortly after I change my pants ... I almost bagged an 8 point deer on the highway. Had I been in the right lane ... http://forum.uncoverreality.com/imag...lies/stars.gif

I don't even want to think about it.

AWESOME zombie costume, Super Girl!

Ugh. Well that was fun. I was dead last.. something tells me doing a 15 mile ride yesterday wasn't in my best interest. It was fun seeing the kids in costumes though.

I really liked the course, though at this rate, I think I just might run into a course I can't finish. The mudholes were tons of fun. :-) I had a mini camera crew out there, and I got pictures of everyone in the 4b's.

Now you might ask why I'm posting at 3:30am? My legs are twitching. Ugh.

Cool shot of Supergirl!

Uh .... huh??
