I'm mostly just posting this so Chris doesn't feel too lonely on this forum... Sorry Cow, you are now only responsible for 98% of all posts on the new and improved nmcross.com forum.

I'm moving at the end of the month. I'm very bummed to be moving, but I was able to get a teaching job in Washington that I couldn't resist. I get to teach the next generation of tree-huggers how to conduct environmental research.

As a farewell, and because I'm 35 lbs overweight and need to get going if I'm going to salvage my season by December, I'll be creating a course at Mesa del Sol on Sunday the 16th. If you aren't going to Silver City for the mtb race, join us. Please do the TT on Sat. so your legs are good and sore before you even start the race.

For those that have never ridden Mesa during Monsoon, or Non-soon season as the case is this year, it's amazing; the sand is hard-packed and fast.

Since it's hot these days, let's get this out of the way in the morning, say 9am start.

Hmmmm. This might be worth the trip down from SF. 35 lbs. overweight? I might not get lapped!

No, you'll still get lapped, it will just be more humiliating. See, I figure trash-talking will entice you to come down for the race.

Seriously though, if you all could get to Mesa a little early, I'm so fat I'm going to need help zipping up my skinsuit...

I'm in. Where exactly @ Mesa Del Sol is this? This will be my first season ever racing cyclocross but I've ridden single track for forever, and done road races for a couple years, so I stand a chance of finishing a lap before getting lapped.

Current Rides:
08 Bianchi San Jose (Commute On)
07 Fuji Cross Comp (Cross)
08 GT Avalanche 3.0 (Mountain)
09 Motobecane Outcast 29 (29 SS)

It's at Journal Pavilion. Go to the parking lot used for concerts, and look south; you'll see a bunch of soccer fields. We'll be over there.

(Un)fortunately I am not going to make it. The wife is in town and doesn't want me zipping up anyone else's skinsuit. Going to ride our bikes to Harry's Roadhouse and see if we can gain 35lbs. eating a killer breakfast.

Today's rain should make it FAST out there and very fun. See you on Sunday.

P.S. an anonymous benefactor has mentioned the addition of Belgian libations for the après race festivities.
