The C.C.R. bike scene

So the Norwegian Hair Institute has predicted the redheads will be extinct by the year 2100.

And a company in Brazil is marketing a beer for dogs.

So in case you havent heard, Jonathan Page from NH placed second in Sunday's World Championships. He actually lead for a couple of laps as the hometown Belgian crowd was besides itself. A Belgian did end up winning so all is right with the universe, but Page's performance has put The American Cyclocross scene on the map. Ryan Trebon finished 23rd. Katie Compton on the womens side also finished 2nd!

So i seeing that Ne-bra.org has posted most of the race dates for the 2007 road season.

Looks like the Tour of CT will be coming back as a 2 day race. West Hartford is having a "Twilight" race on a friday. That must mean a night time race with streets lit up. And that is feakin cool ! Wonder where it will be. Stay tuned, or if any readers out there have an inside scoop, let us know. When you count that race, Springfield on Saturday, Downtown Hartford on sunday, and then Stafford Springs on Memorial Day monday. That's 4 Crits in a row, all in close proximity of each other! I can't imagine that happening anywhere else in the country. New England rocks!

The Plainville series site has been updated. Search out EBCC forum and you will make your way to the info. The races will be up on bikereg soon enough.

Basically the series runs on Saturdays. March 10th till April 14th.

It is all but official, the 2007 edition of CheshireCross will be held Saturday November 10th. The weekend after the huge Cyclocross races in Farmington and Northampton Mass.

Everyone had fun for the first race we have ever put on. This year will be even better.

Great riding this past weekend. Gregg & Hunter cruised the east and found themselves crossing many a town line on Saturday. They saw 76 degrees on one outdoor thermometer.

Sunday's Sleeping Giant ride was an adrenaline laced affair with over 35 riders. Average speed was around 21. Nuts for early January.

Winter will have its revenge -- just wait

Registration for the Bethel Spring Series is now open! Take a peak at the dates at www.bikereg.com. As expected, it runs from the first Sunday in March till mid April. Every race is a battle, and the competition fierce. Will we be there? Is a pig’s butt pork? You bet.
