Broke my leg at Boss Cross yesterday. Micah Gordon and Nick Valdez are going to be coordinating Tuesday Night Universes for a few weeks probably. I'm still going to try and be there if I can, but look for these two on the bikes to lead for the night.
Halcyon Holiday is still a go! Obviously, I won't be able to ride, but am trying to figure out a car situation with the parents for that day so I can play support crew for everyone. I graduate the day before, so I'll throw some guilt at them ;)
see you on the dirty.

Hyde Park I
Andy Lucas wins! New park, new champ. Where you at BK?
Hyde Park course is fun and super fast. Come next week. Same course, same time, same place all month. I'm gonna start staying in for 90%-100% of the time now so some more self awareness will have to be undertaken.
It's been great to see everyone come out and race Tuesdays. It's a good day to hammer hard after 2 days of weekend racing and recovery Monday. See you Tuesday!

keeping it up!
awesome turnout tonight again! Heard someone say there was "like 90 people here". Not really but a lot. Thanks for coming and pushing each other. We all get better and KC CX gets better by you coming.
REMEMBER!!!! Next week starts out time at the Hyde Park "bowl" at 37 and Gillham. you can't miss it. start bringing lights if you got them. Hyde has installed some new light posts but still not enough to light the entire park really well. We should be good there for at least 2 more weeks before it starts getting really darkish early :/
NEXT WEEK and ALL of OCTOBER
Tuesday Night Universes-Cross Races
Hyde Park
37th and Gillham in "the bowl"
FREE 10-15 minute warm-up, 30-40 minutes.
Courses are usually 3-6 minute laps depending on how hard you go.

Courtois Challenge this week!
details can be found in posts below...check them out please, it'll benefit you.
Original details:
THIS RIDE/RACE IS TOTALLY SELF-SUPPORTED! (ie: no "official" aid stations, see below)
Courtois Challenge
MTB out and back ride/race
100% singletrack!
55 miles.
From Council Bluffs Lake to Berryman Campground, and back again!
Camping and riding all weekend at Council Bluffs Lake.
Saturday July 23, 2011
8:00 am start time
From Wild Boar Campgrounds, Council Bluffs Lake National Recreation Area.
THIS RIDE/RACE IS TOTALLY SELF-SUPPORTED!
However, there are plenty of trail heads between CBL and Berryman (Hazel Creek is about halfway between both) that you can have a support crew meet you at if so desired, or if everyone was smart, they'd find someone to lug a bunch of shit up to Berryman for everyone :) WHICH WE CAN DO FOR YOU!!! SEE BELOW.
How's this gonna work?
No money, no license, no excuses, and absolutely no bitching. PLEASE be prepared, I cannot stress this enough. I highly recommend a water filter/water purification tablets so that you don't have to carry 300 oz of water (which still may not be enough during mid-July).
We'll meet at 7:45 am in Wild Boar Campground, at the self-pay kiosk (entrance to campground) to make it easy on everyone. We'll then roll out neutral until we hit the actual Ozark Trail (I will be leading so it will stay neutral :) I will be camping both Friday and Saturday nights at CBL, I recommend you do the same and drink cold beer with me after this epicness.
and of course, I'll be single speeding it :)
This will be an amazing, no pressure ride/race and great training for the upcoming Berryman Trail Epic. I will have a clipboard stashed at Berryman (I will be there). I will let people know where it is the day of the ride/race, once you find it, you will sign it, time stamp it and head back to CBL.
More stuff:
water/gatorade and bag drops. These will be available for you. I'll be on/off riding the route. We will have water/gatorade for you at BOTH Hazel Creek and Berryman. Also, if you want to have us take anything to berryman for a bag drop, we will be glad to do so (MAKE SURE YOUR BAG IS MARKED! WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, yada yada yada). This should make the ride A LOT more tolerable and doable for folks.
Disclaimer: However, you are still responsible for you. We will NOT have room for people who bonk. we will not have maps. We will not have food/nutrition for you other than blue powered gatorade mixed with ice cold water and ice cold water at Hazel Creek and Berryman. Please have all your necessary tools/tubes/butt creme/water filtration devices/etc present and at your disposal.
See you saturday!!!

upcoming productions, summer/fall 2011
July 23-Courtois Challenge (see post below for initial information)
September and October-Tuesday Night Cross Races at various parks around midtown...Theis, Gillham (south and north parts), Hyde, Roanoke, Penn Valley, and Troost Parks will be used on a differing basis. It will be a points series similar to what I've done in the past with the Hyde Park CX and what BK does with Swayze Memorial Cross Series.
December 17-Mark your calendars for the Second Annual Halcyon Holiday Gravel Grinder metric century in and around my beautiful hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, USA. Plan on 100k of the finest gravel and hills the area has to offer. It should be a great time as always and will include AT LEAST one town to go through, if not a couple.
As always, these are all free. no license is necessary. no official support will be offered (other than moral support and perhaps a tool/tube loan). your ride/race at your own risk. Etc. etc. etc.
hope to see you soon on the dirty.

no short track...
hey folks,
i've decided to not host short track this summer. Not enough people show up for me to put the time in that I could be building trail someplace. not to mention, it basically takes one night that I could be riding too, which lately seems like they're getting fewer and more spaced apart. Someone else feel free, but I'm only going to be focusing on promoting gravel grinders, one time events, and next year (hopefully) a UFD mtb race.
enjoy your rides!
