Springfield Dirt Crits Are Coming

Check out THIS post from Mark Gullett (SGF mtb machine) - dirt crits for eight weeks in a row on Tuesday evenings at Sac starting Aug 3rd. I plan to make all that I can now that Ian's baseball is over. Hope the course is conducive to 'cross bikes (if not the mtb needs the cobwebs dusted off) as it will be a great weekly event to put some punch in the legs leading into 'the season'. Ride down from Bolivar, race 35 minutes, and snag a ride back... might be too good to be true. I know at least three of us from Bodunklivar will make these.

Good to see various weekly events going on in the Ozarks: 1) St. John's Waffle race (which I hope will evolve to a mini series next summer), 2) ScottyD's TT series (helping those TT'ers ramp up for State TT), and now 3) Dirt Crit for 8 weeks in a row.

After a week of deliberation it is official that the scooter is staying. Everyone is getting a kick out it and it's simply too good of a deal ($100 with $47 in maintenance issues) to let it go. 'Herby' style racing stripes to go on over the weekend (hopefully).

Spent a little quality time with Nate last night wrapping his handlebars. I really like the Specialized Roubaix tape we put on as the vibration dampening seems suited for Polk County roads to a T.

Enjoying some down/easy spinning on the bike for the rest of the month. Looks like Dale and I will head out for 3hrs tomorrow morning and take in some long-lost roads to the northeast.
