Bike-celeb sightings

Jeremy Powers was spotted here recently
He was previewing the Spa 'Cross Course
Look for him on Oct. 25

This was a good week. After a suitable break, I've been able to relax a bit, post-season, and enjoy some of the finer things in life. Like calling in sick on Wednesday, and spending the day laying on my sofa, mainlining OJ and blowing my nose until I ran out of tissues, and then sniffling until I was nearly drowning in my own mucus. A lovely image, I know.

Anyhow, the unequivocal highlight of the week was getting so much help in clearing a new section of trail for the Spa 'Cross course on Wednesday. Many hands made light work, and many racers are going to make Spa 'Cross the crown jewel of the NYCross.com series. Now, go register, before all of our fields fill, and you loose your spot.

Tops from the week:
1) The trail work crew, as mentioned above. Spa 'Cross is going to be great because of your hard work!
2) A certain Three Philosophers. Well worth the trip to Brewery Ommegang.
3) What the hell: first 'cross race of the year.
4) Finally getting a bike for Eric.
5) Thanks to Marissa, the apartment is finally clean!

Bottoms from the week:
1) This awful cold.
2) So many 'cross races, so hard to choose!
3) Gorgeous weather today, and I was stuck inside.
4) Cudney's. Not that it's not a great place, but I prefer avoiding it.
5) Even with taking Wednesday off, I still couldn't get enough sleep this week.
