crossin after midnight.

Tms got a chance to touch base with Robert Foshag about his travels to cross Vegas. T still wouldn't go with the Vegas gig, so TMS had to step in. While everyone back at home in our scene shoulda been fast asleep with visions of work dancing through there heads Robert got chance stretch his legs under the vegas moonlight.

Robert had this quick report for the Vegas cross race.

The Interbike trade show/Cross vegas gave me a good excuse to bring my cross bike. The Vegas race was more of a adventure than a normal race. Having No expectations for a result, Just the whole glitz and glamour made the event made it worth the trip, The first challenge of the night was getting to the course, that required a 8 mile trip through the vegas strip, which proved to be task in itself. rush hour in vegas on cross bike in 85 + degree heat wasnt what i was used to . I watched the industry race were many masters national champions were getting it on. Once dark hit the womens race took the field. I tried to just stay out of the whole crowd, and only watched alittle bit of the comptom show.

Pre riding the course with Frishy, Sauser, and the mighty Lance only added to the spectacle of the whole night. with tons spectators, celebritys of the industry just added to it. It was by far a high of my season, My good friend and mentor Jon Card has told me its not often you get a chance to hit white baseballs in Yankee stadium and on that night, thats what it felt like. very cool. All of this wouldn't of been possible without the help from my boss and good friend Scott Goocher and family, not mention My wife and family.

The realy only venue that would make a great night cross race would be Munson. If properly laid out you could have great course there under the lights. The vets park may work, but i cant confirm that, as i have never been there after dark. I have always felt with alittle leg work it would very possible for something like a night cross race to happen at Munson park. parking is easy, and the corse could very simple without alotta set up or tear down time, on the south side of the hill. Who knows maybe next year.

thanks TMS

After looking over the pictures and video footage Robert sent. It looked like it would be hard to duplicate the 1000 plus in attendence, while editing the video, We heard Richard Fries, mention name like INDY car driver Paul tracy, euro legend johan museeuw? Dont know if anyone can comfirm that but that sounds pretty cool. If anything T missed out on the women
