- » Fire! Fire! Fire! I sure hope nobody dressed as a scarecrow to Sunday’s cross race in Wisconsin. This costume may be my favorite. (At least, I assume it’s a costume.)
» Time to start thinking about indoor training. Turin in Evanston is offering two winter workout series: free plyometrics and intervals on Monday nights, plus pilates and resistance stretching on Wednesdays. Elsewhere, ABD and Prairie Path Cycles offer two sets of winter boot camps. And Kristen Meshberg (Flatlandia) offers Pedaling with a Purpose: Sundays and Thursdays in Westmont and Saturdays and Wednesdays at Tsubos in Chicago.
» Speaking of indoor riding, Vision Quest has released the flier for its indoor time trial series. It’s the inverse of most time trials: Instead of measuring who goes a given distance the fastest, it determines who goes the farthest in 30 minutes.
» Someone with an apparent surfeit of free time put together a video from inside the Chicago Criterium. Note how the auteur selflessly let himself fall from first to last in the first half-lap in order to give everyone a chance to be on camera.
» How many times do I have to tell you people? Finish the race, then celebrate. Thank you.
» According to the Ride Board, the Cuttin’ Cruiser has room for a trip to cyclocross nationals in Kansas City. I’m tempted to go along just for the ride, perhaps even to be the Tom Wolfe to its Furthur.
