Some sweet rollers!
As we all know, rollers can be a great way to warm up for a race or get a workout when you can’t actually ride outside. But, I bet all of you have been riding fancy on Kreitlers, which are for wusses. These are some REAL rollers!

Oregon Cyclocross Action: Alpenrose “Blind Date” #3
It was dark so there’s not much to say. I pretty much navigated by bumping into the cones– If I felt them bumping my left foot I drifted right; bumping on the right and I drifted left. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Jim had a bit of bad luck– a little chain suck resulted in a twisted chain.
Results will be posted in a day or two when OBRA makes them available. Next week we’re going to be all bling-blonged out with blinky lights and stuff.
Jim discovers that "just jammin' on it" does not fix chain problems.
Cyclo Cross Crusade Team Competition
Okay, remember the points listing I poster earlier? Well here is the official dirt: Team with the LEAST points wins. I TOTALLY want that porta-potty.
2009 Feudal States Declaration of War
(aka Team Competition)In accordance with the Geneva Conventions, the official teams of the Cross Crusade have entered into a State of War for domination of the realm. Therefore be it known that the rules of engagement are hereby put forth:
After the battles of the day are ended, the top 10 warriors across all categories, from each OBRA Sanctioned team will be tallied and assigned points.
The team with the lowest points for the series will be declared the victor.
Teams with fewer than 10 warriors fielded in the battles of the day will be awarded 100 points per absentee warrior up to the total of 10 warriors. Warriors who place 100 or above in any category will be awarded 100 points.
For example, if your team’s top placings are: 5 (cat M A’s), 8 (cat Elite W), 34 (cat B), 42 (cat B), 22 (Clydesdales), 15 (cat MM50+), 85 (cat SS), and 102 (cat Beg) and you did not field a ninth or tenth warrior in any category, your team would be awarded 511 points.
The victorious team will be awarded the Cross Crusade Team Trophy and will be granted the exclusive fiefdom of a Porta-Potty for the 2010 season (a priceless value and honor)
