The Forcast Says Rain!
It looks like there should be some rain either on Saturday or Sunday for the Sarasota race this weekend! In Kansas City, for the CX National Championships this weekend, there is a 100% chance of snow on Saturday. So it looks like we'll have our own little "Florida" version of the suffering that our CX brethren will be undergoing in KC. "The forecast says rain, the doctor says pain so I'm gonna give er'"! Free beer to the first person to tell me who said that quote (it's CX related).

Florida 'Cross #3: Orlando
Just got home from the third stop on the Florida Cross Series: Orlando. The course was flat, fast and fun! Three barriers made good transitions essential and the wide open course was all about horsepower. Paul Kavan took top spot in the Men's A race.
The weather was anything buy 'cross-like, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 80's. Just as I got home it started to sprinkle. Figures!
Using the timing chips was a great way to keep the scoring accurate and easy, although some riders had problems because they attached the chips to their helmets or put them in the pockets. They were too far away from the sensors to score accurately. Problem is, if you have a spare bike and need to make a switch, you can't have it on your fork. I tucked mine in the leg of my shorts and had no problems.
Big thanks to TopView Sports, The Cycling Hub and Florida Cycling for putting together another great race! If you have any photos or stories you'd like to share just let us know.
See you all in Sarasota!

Race #2: Tallahassee
This past weekends race was in Tallahassee. Put on by the Atomic Race team, it was a great venue that was super challenging. The course had so many great elements including: an uphill paved start/ finish, three fast descents, run-up steps, a sand pit, an off-camber turn, great barriers, and more! The only thing lacking was cold, mud and/or snow (not likely). By far one of the best courses ever seen in Florida.
