Viroqua Cross 1 Tomorrow

Everything is ready to go, see you tomorrow!

One Week Away...

Here comes Cross season! We're only a few days away from the first WCA race and the first of the Viroqua races. Should be a great season! The locals are fired up and getting on cross bikes. Marty and some of the Southern folk are gearing up as well. Lee V. has filled his tires with goop... Darrel Anders is leading Brin his handmade BlueDog customs rig! Pete is gluing tires, others are mad because he isn't making me do it. Dan's ordered numbers and tape. The barriers are clean and stacked, ready to go. Jay is getting his wheel situation taken care off. TJ, are you ready? Some folks are acting like this isn't the biggest Monday of their year, who are they kidding. Some Lax dudes might come down, Devon from Smith's is ready to go. Willy B. is reminding all of his friends that cross is fun! Mary Lake is bracing herself for the rush of registrants...

Basically the town is ready to rock. Here comes ViroquaCross, thanks to everyone who is excited to race, has put time and effort into making this a go for the second year. Thanks to the sponsors who are dishing out cool stuff to all the racers.

Hats in CA

One of my oldest friends, Lee from Kindergarden, has bought a Hat. This makes CA the furthest west a Viroqua Cross Hat has traveled. Thanks for supporting the series Lee! Good to see that Lee is still such a Handsome devil. He was a track star in High School and I remember him running a 2:04 800m in 8th grade. Lee would make a great Crosser', hope this hat helps him become a cyclist!

Bikes of Viroquacross

Here is Jay S. new bike for this years season. Jay is a 35+ who is a great rider and a super-nice guy. He upgraded his ride for this season to a Trek X2 with Race-Lite Tubies and Sram Rival. It is about 19lbs and looks very nice. Check the Photos.

Anyway, as folks out here are starting to get bikes together for the season I start to worry about the state of my bike! Still in some pieces...

Refurbished Barriers

So here are some shots of the barriers coming together for another season. My brother in law cruised up here and knocked out some serious work around the house. While we were at it, we got rid of some old paint by painting the barriers. Two birds with one stone.

Yeah, so about the peach color... Well, we thought the paint was orange, and as it turns out it was more peachy-colored. Oh well, we have plenty of white barriers so the peach one will be for the primes. Some are white others more peachy. Tomorrow we're going to put some stencils on 'em. Maybe make them more, tough? Not that there's anything wrong with peach...

Sweet Hats

Alright, they finally have arrived . The Viroquacross Trucker Hats are in and for sale. $15 gets you a hat, $18 gets it mailed to your home.

On the side of the blog I have mounted a Google Checkout button that should get you a hat ASAP. Buy one!

I will also have the hats at the races, so if you are coming up here we should have one for you at the first couple of races. Because of cost, I only ordered a modest amount of hats, so get in out it now!

I you are local and want to 'reserve' a hat, send me an email and we can meet-up in town at some point. Email to viroquacross@gmail.com

Enjoy this fine piece of art! My friend Nora spent her nights off toiling over it's awesomeness and it totally shows!
