That just sounds weird.

I'll give you that. The sledding hill used in Northbrook last year was pretty gnarly.

Won the B's tonight. I would have gotten 2nd in the A's behind kyle jacobson. That was crazy fun, and a good way to start my first race.

Yeah, estrabrook park. I think team pegasus puts it on. It's pretty informal, $5 to race, 15ish guys even though it was raining. But it was lot's of fun, and I'm thinking about racing in sun prairie instead of just watching the pros.

From the Madcross e-list:

"Don't forget that tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm pre-registration for the USGP Planet Bike Cup closes. If you haven't registered do so at https://www.bikereg.com/events/Register.asp?EventID=9185

Racers in the non-elite races can register day-of for an extra $10 and must do so at least one hour before the race start. Elite men and women must pre-register.

Thanks,


PS - The course is looking awesome this year and we're back on the hill we all love but it is going to feel a bit different than the past with some new twists/turns. You can pre-ride on Friday afternoon from 2-4pm.
"
