Thanks Jordan for taking some cool shots!

Is it just me, or did Sears look a lot like these guys?

Lauren, you should definitely race. Worst case scenario is that we'll use some of the advanced riders (me) to watch the course during the beginner race and vice versa.

Updates:

- Read the first post again for some potentially new information.
- We'll be splitting fields again (if you read the first post you should know this).  This means one race for beginners, one race for advanced.
- REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR NUMBER IF YOU RACED LAST WEEK!
- We bought more schwag to give away raffle style.  It's all stuff Nic wants to win, so it's all good stuff.
- This week's course will include up to 50 more stakes!
- Check out After 5 this month!  The cover features Nic Buer, kilt and all, competing in last Sunday's race!  There's a great article in there about CX and what the club in general, and if you read the article you get a BONUS photo of Lauren Fuller as a generic female superheroine!  (Until the website gets updated you'll have to pick up a physical copy of After 5 downtown somewhere.)



I, for one, am PSYCHED about this weeks race--the weather is going to be great, we're giving away a ton of stuff, and we've got some great competitions going on:
- Will anyone oust Pat White from his position as king of the Grand Forks advanced riders?
- Is there an upset coming in the beginner race?
- Are the 24-inch wheels sported by Andy Mills the next big thing in cyclocross?
- Will one of your race directors make an appearance and throw down?
- Is one of your race directors secretly a robot?

ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED!  SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

Photos from my camera are going up on Flickr right now.  They were taken by any number of people today, so thanks to all of you!

If anyone else has photos they want to share, either post a link or get them to me somehow and I can get them up.

A note to people wanting to move up for the last race: we have changed the rule about keeping half your points when you move up from Beginner to Advanced.  Sorry if this has caused any confusion.  We decided that since the advanced races have been running about an hour instead of 45 minutes total, the disparity between beginner points and advanced points is too great to be converted this way. 

http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?topic=5388.msg22750#msg22750

You are still welcome to move up, or move down, or move sideways (over the barriers, that is), but we won't be doing any point conversions: you'll have Beginner points and Advanced points and they cannot be added together to compete for the series championship.

Also, even if you can't volunteer to help set up, you can still come watch the race AND give us a hand by policing the Greenway path intersections.

A note on the third Race. Same Location (Riverside Park), but the course will be even more different than previously. We are using a lot more of the cross country ski trail, so beautiful sights while power along near the river bank. Start Finish is in the Treeeeeeees.

That was Andy?  I totally didn't recognize him.  Been wanting to compare training notes with him for awhile.

  Venturing down into the river slime?  ;)

Should be a fairly nice day other than the temperatures being ~40F or so.
