Maybe off topic but why are the Junior cross races so expensive with the
tremendous turnout for these events promoters would encourage junior also
known as future racers by not making racing cost prohibitive. I could be
alone here but after bike shopping and race fees it is quite a leap for an
eight to ten race season. I think my main concern is the future of Oregon
racing if the juniors programs are not somehow subsidized. Just a thought.

Cannondale St?mptown Cyclocross Classic
USGP of Cyclocross
Cyclocross Crusade Series Race #2
Saturday October 8, 2005
Alpenrose Dairy, Portland
A modern day Icarus with cup of delicious darkly hot brew in hand to greet
the day as the first fingered stabbings of dawn make their way through
hazy, lazy misty wisps. Glittering bejeweled tributes to disposable income
soon to be splattered into muddy skeletons of magic metals and
composites...one ultimately indistinguishable from the other...mud becomes
the mechanism of equality...
