Hup Hup Double-up

This weekend is shaping up to be a big 'un, with two Front Range 'cross races, and K-State v. CU on the gridiron in Manhattan.

Day 1 presents us with Castle Cross, an event down in Castle Rock, CO.  I've heard that it is the inaugural race, so let's see how they do.  I'm suspecting the Cat 4 race pack will be 50 strong or so.

Day 2 is the Boulder CX Series #3, at Boulder Reservoir.  This race has had a slog-fest through sand in recent years, not exactly my strong suit.  But this is typically a well attended race, so I'd expect it's going to be a huge field - 70+ maybe?

If you're not racing in Castle Rock on Saturday, you might go hit up VeloSwap at the National Western center in Denver.  Big swap meet dealing with pretty much nothing but bicycles.  Doesn't matter - roadie, XC, downhillers; all are covered.  Just like a garage sale - usually a bunch of junk, but every now and then, you can score HUGE.

Saturday is also the K-State v. CU (who?) football game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, KS.  Let's see - lose to Texas Tech 66-14, then hammer Texas A&M 62-14 in successive weeks.  Which team will show up to this game?  K-State is 2-1 in the Big XII North, a win would cement our North Division lead for one more week.


Let's hope its the latter.  Buck the Fuffs.
