To keep you tuned up, there are show and go 'mock' races at Herman Laird on Wednesday. This Saturday there's a preview party for the riders heading to Belgium for Masters Worlds. Prior to the party there's a 3PM cyclocross play ride. Most likely at a super secret venue. Meet at Laird.<br />
<br />
Still rumblings about February racing. That gives us the full UCI length schedule in KC if it happens. Do we need year round 'cross? Heck no. Gotta have that road or mountain 'offseason' to train for CX. It will make you better.
