i aint gonna lie to ya...

for the first time in as many years i almost didnt come to the plate this morning with post State CX championship banter of useless bullshit..

But..i thought how much in years past i loved single fingering punchin out a state championship post..hell this whole week was like Ts holy week...so after much internal debate....

i sat wringed my writs..drank another mouthful of liquid motivation..and grabbed my shit and slowly started to punch out this smell post..

• The Venue...on a scale of 1-10 it ranks in at 8 not over the top but not as boring as The Waterford worlds...good location..
• The weather its been nearly 10 years since the scene has scene a foot of snow..its not gonna happen this weekend as Ma nature is setting have her monthly ill for most of the day..its going to be a shitty day........

man the pre-reg list...........whew the 45+ race looks to be one with the most depth in it..Harrville, Goocher..and in the 11th hour the Lil Pony tosses in his hat..i would suspect Simon B couldnt resist another chance at getting another masters title..top 5 is in this field will be a solidly good ride.

where is Osgood? and McBride? 

The spoiler might be Gooch not sure if he has the ponys number but i wouldnt rule a podium

Masters 55+ wow..if seeing the names in there dont make ya feel old nothin will Craig Gietzan is going to take down good time johnny,,,,

The Elite race...........................................

what started off as in my opinion a going to be pretty exciting fall kinda laid an egg somewhere out there..First after Alma the numbers started slowly decrease ...go figure..than Yankums run towards national got mucked up somewhere mid October..The West Coast kids looked to be coming..then not..Junge cant stop racing but might lacks marginal gains to get in there..ScottyA after runnin himself ragged chasin UCI things wised up and called it a season....poof before you knew there was hardly anyone left...until

The RoadKing returns...whew Tom is on track to a record tying 3rd title only to be held by Das German..

Dont think for a split second Sorry aint close to the keys to the club house after riding away from his old rivals last weekend Tim is closer now than ever before......seems kinda odd to say that but shoot strangers things can..I soo much want to see this guy get it but man i gotta through the nod to Burke...

Junge..the kid is good and obliviously has the gift of youth behind him as well as some fat grip ..but in all do respect its a long shot...but i could see a whole pile of titles in all disciplines in this kids future 

Nate Dog..man..surprised to see him on the start list
 Sorry had his number back at Bloomer so ill put him fighting for box number three with Junge

Singlespeed...Junge and Earl show...

Lady Elites..............................
probably the most contended women's field in years....
Melissa Seymour two time defending champion...nuff said...Angela Webster is solid and could be the wild card...

You, 

you are so special

You have the talent to make them feel like dirt
