THE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO HOW TO FUCK UP A SKI LIFT

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Don't tell anybody....On April 15th, at 12:00:01am, the open space around Eagle Ranch which is closed until then for LARGE animal breeding protection and dog's without leashes protection, opens for the season to Mountain Biking. That is why at 12:00:01 am on April 15th, I will be heading out to night ride out there with the Headlights beaming on the first legal ride of the year on our local singletrack. Until then, well, let's just say freshies on the dry dirt don't suck and I don't know what you are talking about.

CULT CROSS 2010 IN REVIEW

Jake Wells (Hudz/Suburu for 2010 CX) and Matthew Pronovost (Moots, finished third) ramp it up at the start of the Men's "A" race Saturday at the Eagle Fairgrounds while a short lived blizzard moves in on the course, perfect. Wells battled Jay Henry most of the race at the front before pulling away let for the win, but it was not easy...

Local Legend Jay Henry (and National Marathon MTB Champion) chases Jake Wells around the Cult Cross course, this run-up also served as the finish. Cult Cross always throws some kind of curveball at the racers, and this year it was a Monster run-up at the start, and a run-up finish. Jay rode super strong as expected and finished second in the field of ten "A" riders.

Ciro Zarate "running to the grave one barrier at a time"

Cult Cross 2010 once again proved that Spring CX is here to stay. Competing against one of the most popular early season road races on the front range due to it's cancellation the previous weekend due to weather, the racers came in record numbers to Cult Cross from as far away as Provo, Utah. The racing was fierce and the racers dug the course which featured signature Eglee character with power, and plenty of technical sections, which of course is what defines Cyclocross. A cold breeze and occassional HEAVY snow squalls made for some exciting action. There are still some T-shirts left for those of you who were unable to attend, give me a heads up if you want one. The hoodies sold out FAST!

UPDATES SOON...

I'm stuck at the lodge working today until 3pm, listening to Brits screem at their kids this Easter morn, it's a real pleasure, by the way, may you find many eggs in your basket this morning...Check out the front page of the Vail Mountaineer this morning for the Cult Cross coverage!

And thanks to Avery Cunliffe for posting this picture of me in the paper today with the title "The Stalker", I guess when you spend as much effort ripping on shit on your blog for a couple of years as I do turnabout is fair game! Cheers Mate! and thanks for the great race coverage yesterday!

CULT CROSSERS DRIVE SIX HOURS FROM PROVO TO RACE..

Awesome! Thanks for the huge effort to get to Cult Cross 2010!

THE DAY OF RECKONING IS AGAIN UPON YOU

9AM TOMORROW MORNING, NO EXCUSES.

AUNT EM, AUNT EM!

What a freekin snow squal came through today while working on the Cult Cross course, thankfully it passed quickly and we are looking really good for Saturday morning. There is some wind in the forecast tomorrow but I'm going to tape the course and have it ready to roll by noon or so, it should be really tacky or a bit on the snot slick side in spots. I HIGHLY recommend racing CX in Eagle this weekend, it's going to be world class conditions, really.

Turned out to be not as bad as it looked...

CULT CROSS 2010 SETTING UP PERFECTLY

With a fair amount of moisture in the forecast for the next couple of days, Cult Cross 2010 is setting up to be the most epic of all. The Fairgrounds got doused with some good rain last night and we've got a small chance of more moisture over the next couple of days. This is going to be gooooood.
