Who ordered the cross weather?
I pray for rain every weekend there is a race!
Thanks for literally feeding me a ho-ho or something chocolatey and creamy
Itty bitty set of the best faces and mud from 1/2/3s and 4A’s:

Still need to figure out how to manage the racing and photo-ing together… :o)
Speaking of racing, did anyone get a video (or photo) of the start of the Women’s 4s?
Here are the women into the first barrier: http://www.twitvid.com/NGLAT
Perfect! Thanks so much! 😀
Great race! I think I’ve been on the bike 4 hours since the start of summer. Fat and out of shape, just like ’09. Had an absolute blast riding in the mud. I actuallyu did better then I expected, I think partially because the course conditions for the 4Bs kept the overall speed down and made it a handling race. I had one hard fall the first lap and ended up bleading down my arm and all over my hand the rest of the race, a second fall on the 3rd lap was softer but cost me position. (Hey when your at the back like me, every spot counts!) The support was amazing as usual, thanks to everyone cheering me on each week, god I love this sport!
To the dude heckling me about having a power-tap, heres the file you asked for:

Averages are a bit low since I forgot to stop it for 10 minutes after the race.
Well done. I tore open my knee again on one of my trips down the slip ‘n slide. Mud helped slow the bleeding.
so stoked on the rain and mud today. couldn’t have been a better way to start the season.

I spoke with a USAC official 3 times about how my placement was never entered in the results in the 30+ plus race and he kindly stated he would fix it, unfortunately I am still missing. Can someone tell me who I need to talk to? Thanks and great racing today!
Hi Roy, sorry for this mix up, we’ll get this cleared up in the morning.
Thanks, you guys run a great show and are always very responsive!
Roy, please contact us at chicagocrosscup@gmail.com. Thanks.
If anyone lost a helmet at Jackson Park today, please drop me a line with brand/model/size/colour at humbleframeworks@gmail.com. I found one in the parking lot on my way out. If no one claims it, it’ll get donated to the West Town youth cx program.
Huge thanks to XXX, the parks dept folks, and everyone who helped make today awesome.
Flannel Mike, more like Iron Mike: your heart rate was north of 175 for 60% of the race! As your fake internet cardiologist, I hereby pronounce you passed your stress test. As your fake internet coach, I advise you to get some base miles.
PICTURES!!! I took a lot of pictures, and had friends take pictures when I was racing. Unfortunately there are none of the women’s/juniors races, I apologize for that. Better coverage next time.

Can you un-copyright the pic.s? so I can down load them? Thanks, J
Fixed, J
Thx
Had a blast at your race, again. Thanks for putting on such a great, fun event. This is a yearly ‘cross road trip for a few of us from Grand Rapids MI and we keep dragging more every year. Posted up some pics, and grabbed some video that some of your crew had posted on our blog. http://crazybastardscross.blogspot.com/2011/09/cross-weekend-report-chicago-cross-cup.html
Hope its ok to borrow the polka band picture for our web site
Next time someone complains about coarse conditions forward them this video: http://youtu.be/H9_Fs1QtsOY
“Coarse conditions”? I thought it was quite slick.
The West Town Bikes Cyclocross porgram had a blast. Special congrats to Django Wilson, Jose Ganzalez, Danny Serrano, Kevin Perez, Jose Santiago, Harrison Milne and Anthony Cruz. 4 of them racing for the first time and everyone finishing. Lebster Pabon (instructor and Bike Club manager) raced in the 4b (2010 Bonebell kit) and had a killer start with some 360 antics at the begining. If anyone has vidpic of that please post. Jose Santiago does understand he actually got lapped but loved his podium experience and medal. Tip of the hat and high five to Tommy Davey who was actually 3rd in the J10-14. It was so great to see such a broad spectrum of people and many true friends. Our riders do the maintenance on the bikes and the rain, mud and grass was celebrated in many ways. We are looking forward to Hopkins Park. Big thanks to the Barreto Union League Boys and Girls Club for transporting all the racers and Allan Thom and Anthony Mikrut whos donations enabled us to bring more particiapnts. We are working on getting our van going so we can attend more events at a lower cost. If you have questions about the program contact me at 312-656-1953.
I’ve got the 360 on video. Will post it tonight…….It was sweet
Jacob was happy to see his old bike being put to great use! Happy to help, Mikey!
Here is the 4b 360

Dang! Hard to know what’s cooler, smooth sailing through a 360, or the fact that Chicago has so many 4Bs it takes nearly a minute for them to get around the second corner.
That 360 was just awesome. Congrats whomever that was. Next stop, CCC Drifting contest.
Sorry I missed the opener. However, when it’s that bunched up at the start, I would say that that is not a race, that’s a procession.

Yeah, what she said.
I changed the name of the album to include “Chicago Cyclocross Cup” after I posted the link here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
