MRC Cross Race Seat Cam Crash Video

The seat cam jinx continues. I'll elaborate later, but other than a taco'ed front tubular (it really sucks to be my mechanic) everyone and everything was ok.

I'm glad you clarified that you were alive. We were genuinely worried about you for a bit there. You should have seen how fast Hamlet took off on the quad to go find you. Nice work on lap one at least :)

I BEAT YOU!

It will probably never happen again. So I am going to savor the moment.

Thanks again for helping out our team with the results. You're the man.

Congrats on the $$. Spend it well.

Damn, I just got your rear tubular glued too. Am I going to be ordering you a new rim Tuesday?

So glad you had the seat cam on for that business.

And glad you're OK.

curtis had to text me on my 3 hr drive home today to tell me you beat him for the prime. you broke him. he was so crushed he skipped racing sunday to "think about things."

so sad. 120 bucks for you! that should just cover the new wheel.

at least you let everyone ride past you before you fell. that's a sign of a good upbringing if you ask me.

eh hem.

Ya, what was up with that?

"No, no, you go ahead...I have to crash head first into that log over there".

now that we are sure you are OK, I can say that that right there is some funny shit. at least on video, you know, not like it would be funny if it was "real life" or anything.

i stand by my previous statement that I can get by on this seat came shit alone. i dare say its better then actually racing.

so sweet.

Post up the first lap so we can see you winning the prime!

Meh.

Borderline "crash", more like a "crashette." A little more than a "dump" but not quite reaching the epochal standard of an Eye Bob "crash."

For future reference, I can send you the delineated list of standards that must be met to reach full "crash" standards....although you saying "hold on, hold on!" at the end of the video do help to make it more than a meer "dump."

Do-It-Yourself March Cycling Blog Post

So, are you a cyclist? Do you have a blog? If you answered "yes" to both of these questions, I hope you've already written your March Training Blog Post . You know what I'm talking about. To make it easier for those of you who haven't yet written the required cycling-blogger March Training Post , here is a handy template. Just cut and paste the text and then choose whichever option from the brackets [option1|option2], or add in the details [something vague] for whatever fits your training more accurately, and BAM, blog post DONE! Early Spring Training Post Template Just a [quick|surprisingly detailed] update about how training is going this year, in case any of the [joke about small number of readers] care. This week I've done [15 hours|30 hours] in the saddle, [getting up at 4 am|returning after 8pm] each time. It's been pretty chilly out there-- 5 below [celsius|fahrenheit] when I [started|finished] yesterday, but I'm toughing it out because ...

Sam Anderson Cheats at Mountain Bike Racing

Note that this is NOT the 24 Hours of Great Glen   Race Report. 24HOGG delivered another AMAZING race weekend that reminded me how much I love this event and why it keeps going strong in its 19th year, long after the 24-hour craze of the 90s has faded.  I will be back in 2015, and you should be too! ---- update:  I made a second post  that answers some questions and has some more info. The only individual prizes you can get at a team 24 hour race are the "Fastest Lap" and "Fastest Night Lap" prizes. If you're a serious racer (which most people at this race AREN'T), you pay attention to this stuff. Back when I used to do the race on the Back Bay Team, we'd fight over who got to ride 2nd because it was the "hot lap spot" -- the first rider on the course who didn't have to do the Le Mans start. This was better than going 3rd or 4th on your team because lapped traffic quickly started appearing -- your best bet at taking "fastest ...

US Cyclocross Nationals Travesty Report: Junior Girls

Note:  if you're a USA Cycling representative or Austin 2015 representative, and want to add a comment, rebuttal, fact, or perspective to this discussion, feel free to email me at colin.reuter@gmail.com and I'll post it here verbatim.  I fully accept that I wasn't there and don't know every issue that may have contributed to the decisions that were made.  There may be an explanation for these events that I am not aware of, and if so, I would love to hear it. Important Facts Update and Hyperbole Correction - The Junior Girls 15-16 race was supposed to be 30 minutes long, so the 7 girls who made it 2 laps were not "pulled" from the race, they were removed from the course after the finished their race.  Without firsthand testimony it's impossible to know how clear they were on their race duration being 2 laps shorter than the boys race happening simultaneously -- based on Turner Ramsey's quote to Cyclocross Magazine, it was certainly not a straightforwa...
