The Henry and Glenn Show.

Henry: Thats a wrap, a saying that gets thrown around more than T throws his Atlanta friends around. But to you it means nothing, other than a wrap on 2010 cross scene. Last weekend marked what many are saying is a changing of the guard at least on the Tailwind front. If your new to the scene you may not get it. But 50% that still line up at Tailwind cross may know what that is referred to as.
For the past 10+ yrs we have seen basicly the same faces and names at the front of Elite group, Guys like The LIL pony, The BlackACE, TOOWHITE, the EVILDUDE, The UnderDog and the Dominate WIZ, were and all are what has been refered to as the OLD guard of Michigan cross why? They either have won multiple or have been taking to the line of Tailwind cyclocross state championship events since its conception most have been the mainstay of winners weekend week out. Mind you many have moved on, retired or still compete here. But what has happened this year is the influx of Hungry new faces and multiple winners. Never has the series scene this. It can mean only one thing the winds of change have given into the new breed. Now with Robert steppin down a notch it could better for the series.
Guys Like the 2010 state champion,Chicken PARM, Mustang II, Vinny and even the The ROADKING have stepped up for a piece that was basically unobtainable due to the dominance of the established veterans. Its refreshing and it may bring new life to a series that has grown stale. Whats your Take Glenn?
Glenn: Henry, I have to agree with you, we saw interesting action this year and I only think its only a view of things to come. I dont think you have scene the last of the OG's but the mix will get more stirred up. That goes the same for the Women s Elite, Queen Anne has held the thrown for more yrs than I think most can even remember. mmmMMarne has worked hard and has earned a Tailwind crown. And I shouldn't leave out all the new faces near the front of some of the other classes.
Henry: Well Glenn, I agree all across the board, Changed seem to be going on all across the map, new Venue which is rare for a Tailwind series, and the possibilty of maybe more, If they work in accordingly with the USA cycling s calendar that would add 2 more weeks before the annual holidays. maybe 2 more races?
Glenn: Well that will remain to be scene.
Henry: My only closing thoughts are, quite simple the sport is hard, everyone seems to do it for there own reason's Im looking forward in the distant future at a new series with fresh new venues and continuation of new faces at the front.
Glenn: I fulyl agree on all counts, But would never count out the OG's, and always remember where you came from.
from Both Henry and I thanks Robert from Tailwind and all of TMS.
see you soon.

So no Tailwind seiries in 2011?

Yes, but from what we hear it may or may not stay the same.
New owners, new direction?

Someone should check the results in Bend, and see how many races Bob Wydra did.

Man, hating on a guy for racing too much 'cross. Sounds like that's coming from someone who hung up his boots back in September with the rest of the road crowd only to come out flying for the spring road series.

you can race alot of cross but getting lapped and getting in guys way while in suffocation mode is not good. Race one race and finish good, theres no award for crossIRONman. in the SCENE.
