Well, cyclocross in September is just unnatural. A crime against
nature. Personally I think cyclocross should start in November and
finish in January. Instead of starting in September and finishing
just as the weather is getting good-- I mean bad. Y'know what I mean.

Didn't we just have a discussion about the race seasons starting so
early? So here we are looking at cross in September and people bitching
that the weather might be TOO NICE! Argg!

Does any one else see the irony of the following quote from a recent post:

Perfect illustration on how we wind up with the seasons skewed. The
people who want crappy weather start racing at the nicest time of the
year. The people who want nice weather start racing when they're least
likely to get it.

... But we must have MUD this time. None of this sunny and 65-degree
weather into November business.

You hear me, weather? MUD! And rain! Snow-- not so much.

Mud and rain!
