It’s good to see that Northeast Ohio isn’t the only area dealing with the dreaded cyclocross sandbagger. On Road Bike Review there’s a clever idea on how a New England cross racer is using eBay (the link to the actual auction) to expose these dregs of the cycling community.
There’s got to be a creative solution for the Cleveland race series but my energies are best spent trying to eliminate the sandbags from around my waistline. Liposuction or gastric bypass surgery are two viable options. Then I could play hours upon hours of Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band during the recovery process. Yet surgical procedures are the ways of the sandbagger. I need to man up, be a true Belgian and get my a$$ *CLINK… A quarter falls into the swear jar* on a saddle.
On a serious note, a cyclocross Medal of Honor is to be awarded to Ray (Death Ray) Huang for laying down his opportunities for glory in the B’s and raced against the hard men of cross. With two races remaining in the “Respect my authori-tie” series Ray has shown in his first year of cross that he has what it takes to tame the feared Hydra of cyclocross.
And huge props to Tony Marut for becoming the Junior Men’s 16-18, 2007 Ohio State Cyclocross Champion!!! Tony is a great, solid kid. It couldn’t have gone better guy.

Damn, the secret is already out. I wish I woulda checked Bloglines and seen your blog prior to posting. Now the WHOLE WORLD is gonna know. I'm thinking someone from OVCX might snap up the points though.
What can I say but thanks. I like pain in fact I think I must like it more then most!! Time trialing, racing up in road races and crits, Cyclo cross A races (1:21:00 sometimes)....yikes-maybe I need therapy?!?!?!?
Don,
Awesome blog, what a great read, you have quite a way with words.
Thank You for the very nice words for Tony and thanks for coming out and cheering all of us on and supporting our series. See you this weekend.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the compliments on the blog.
It's been fun to watch Tony over the past couple of years develop into a strong racer. You should be very proud. :-)
From the venues to course design; Bike Authority continues year after year to put together a top caliber cyclocross series. Thank you Bill, Rudy, Julie, Sherman and everyone at Bike Authority for providing Northeast Ohio racers a place to get cold and muddy. It’s an honor to support your series.
See you on Sunday Muddy Sunday!
