2008-09 Schedule
The fall schedule looks like it’s 90% finalized. Couple unknowns in there but I can still make a tentative plan.
9/6-7: off.
9/13-14: Pain on the peak
9/20-21: Team pics & party. It’s Hood River but team stuff is about as mandatory as it gets. Plus, we *may* be picking up our new unis there although we may be asked to hold off on racing with them until Alpenrose.
9/27-28: Veloshop Cross and/or Barlow. Dunno yet. Rach is out of town and I’ll need sitters to race. I hope to get one in, maybe both if they’re close. I haven’t seen any details.
10/5: Alpenrose. Always good. I’ve typically done well here.
10/12: Wilsonville. New venue (to me).
10/19: Rainier. Great course that I want to do again. I faded down the stretch last year.
10/25-26: off (rest week)
11/2: Barton. My favorite.
11/9: PIR. Ok, I’ll admit it…I’m a PIR virgin. What was I thinking??? Oh sure, it’s the closest race to town but I think I’ll skip it. What an ass.
11/16: Hillsboro (finals). New course. Too bad though. The old stadium course, especially from 2 years ago, was one of the best.
11/23: off (rest week)
11/30: no races
12/6-7: USGP.
I’ve got a few tune-up/pre-season races in there but the bulk of the schedule is Cross Crusade. I don’t want to go into Alpenrose cold.
So that’s it. Depending on which races I do, there’s about 10 hours of racing spread out over 3 months. 10 hours!!
