I don’t think today’s Hangover could be any more aptly titled, as I feel like I just finished coming off of a bender that involved a case of Natty Light, huffing glue, and mud wrestling with Kristie Allie. It’s more than a fair assumption that anyone who raced CX this weekend probably feels like they were hit by a freight train. I guess that’s what happens when you do a Beer-fueled CX double-header when a nor-easter is in town. I would call the races "Epic," but that term is overused. Let’s go with "Phantastmagorical."
As for results, It was a weekend full of Twofers: In the Elite Men, Ryan Trebon and Barry Wicks went 1-2 at Both Granogue and Wissahickon. Georgia Gould won both of the women’s races, and our local dreamy Finnish racer Roger Aspholm took a twofer in the Elite Master’s races.
I haven’t heard much about results from the NY State Championships up in Troy, NY. If anyone has any info on local racers’ results, feel free to chime in.
schmalz update – here’s even more pictures courtesy of Jim Mernin.

From Wissahickon
Must have been $500 laid on the run-up yesterday.
Who won the B Men Sat and Sunday?
Was the average speed of this race > 5mph?
Marco should shoot all cross races from a babe-filled Hot Tub next to the course.
Kissena’s Chabanov was the highest placed NYC rider in the B’s. Granogue no results yet.

Syracuse doubled-up, with Sarah Krzysiak winning the women’s race and taking the title.

sorry but the dollars and the beers are an insult. just do that in the parking lot after the race, or at the camp grounds Saturday night…
95% of CX is the land or posers and no hopers…
come to think of it, that would be all cycling “racers”…
Page is the one and only true CX racer from USA.
Page is not even the best CX racer in the US anymore. Trebon, Powers and Johnson have owned him for the past 5 years. Just because you race in Europe does not make you the best. Also, dollars and beers are just good fun. The Elites go off last. If the spectators cant have good fun then the racers will be racing to zero people.
Finally, CX is the land of posers? Nah, its the land of men and women who love to ride their bikes for the pure fun of it year round.
Instead of giving the racers dollars and beers, maybe we should act like the Euros in Belgium and shout obscenities, spit and throw beer on the racers we dont like. Ask Page how that goes…
Your an idiot!
Seriously bro, shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about. Page has been passed by younger, faster guys who are a hell of a lot more approachable and great for the sport.
So yeah, shut your pie hole, douche.
does mud get in the nose ring? ewwwwwww!

Who, exactly, shit on him? Was it Chabanov?
Can we just start calling CJ “the hedgehog”. Apologies to RJ.
