SS Cyclocross Chicago
 

I was talking to Marcus at Yojimbo's yesterday and he mentioned that the Chicago Cyclocross Series is in progress. I was aware of the series peripherally, but what caught my attention is that for the first time, there is a SS category. I'm thinking about throwing on a freewheel and riding the final race on Dec. 5th. It is at Montrose Harbor and should be a great spectator event as well. Any of you Chicago guys currently doing the series, or would you be interested? Anyone raced ss cx and have suggestions for a good bike configuration? There is a website, but I'll have to find it later.

Oh man if I had known there were xc races in chicago I would've been there
for the whole series. I might have to pick up a freewheel. Now if only I could
find a bike shop in the wicker park area....

Dude - Rapid Transit. Upgrade. Boulevard.

Also, Scott (mech at Performance, races for XXX) told me about this a while ago when installing my new fork, it's the site for the XC.

dude I was joking. its all about rapid transit one of our own
bikeforums people works there.

Thanks for finding that link. XC races seem awesome.
Like the stairmaster but with mud.

Hey Ira - this is far fetched but your last name isn't Cox is it?

Cool. I'm down for checking some out.

whodat?

Wouldn't "Glass", "Plato", or even "Hayes" be a better guess? But yeah, you got me.

True...but oh well. I found your site a long time ago and read it through and through and it just dawned on me that maybe you were the same person. Apparently so.

haha... yeah that's me. That's flattering and embarrassing.

hey Ira ...

you make some wicked seitan!

if only I had known you were you I would have ... I don't know, done something.

Hey Val
When have you had my seitan? Most of the seitan around my house is Andrea's doing. thanx though...

after posting that I realized you actually didn't make the seitan, it was nate, you were just eating it with him (last winter).

anyway, you mere presence (+/- beer) is enough to satisfy us all. :)
