Countdown to 24 Hours of Seven Spring

Took the hardtail out tonight and practiced some cyclocross moves that I learned on Youtube. I know... who learns a new skill on Youtube? In between making a fool of myself I rode the 5 mile challeneging section of D-run out and back. I was going to sign up for the Charm city Cross race in Baltimore but just saw that it was closed for cat 4, maybe I can sneak into the 2/3 race? I'll have to try one of these from MABRA

TBL is actually putting on a cyclocross clinic for beginners tomorrow at 5:30. I thought it was tonight until I checked my e-mail again today. I already made plans for a road ride tomorrow so I'm going to skip the cross clinic. I'll have to learn the things that Adam and company could teach me on the race course. One thing I realized today though is that I'm going to have to start running (yuk)

It will be nice to get a good road ride in tomorrow before leaving for PA on Friday. Thursday night will be devoted to bike maintenance and packing the car. I'm hoping to leave work a bit early Friday and get to the campsite just before dark.

If I get any service on my blackberry I'll be putting updates up on twitter. For those of you not on Facebook (mom), you can see them here. The chances of getting reliable service are slim. However, Pratik did tell me I could send all the e-mail and tweets that I want while I'm in Germany and Belgium. I just can't text or call anybody.

I know maybe one of you 4 or 5 loyal readers is wondering what Cyclocross is?
