Yes, it's July.
Yes, it "feels like" 100 degrees out.
Yes, my basement smells of Mastik One.
Yes, it's time to start up CX specific workouts.

I did this last year and I'll again extend the invite again to join my informal weekly CX workouts to folks in and around the Essex/Passaic/Bergen region. Location is a super secret spot around Montclair/Cedar Grove so hit me up with a PM if you are interested. At this point thinking Wednesdays but this may change.

Format will vary but typically I'll have some sort of course marked out along with a set of portable barriers and we'll do a mix of skills and hot laps.

As always beginners are encouraged to join.

We should morph the Tuesday ride into this.

I like this but a harder Tuesday effort like the A ride is tough to replace. The actual high intensity part of the CX practices never end up being as long as I want it to be.

be sure to bring little-gv out for some laps too!

Need to talk to the other half of Team-O to see how this all fits in to our family training schedule but will try to put together some dates soon.
 
If you continue into August and are looking for a few ladies, I may be interested a few, if they happen to be near my hood.
 
Eric bring Cole and while mom and dad play circus bicycles Maria and I can entertain the world's most happy baby.
 
I will certainly bring at least one of my dudes. They are already talking about cx season which they equate with the waffle truck and the french fries at Ommegang.

If Team-o needs help planning, let me know. Sounds like there is real demand for CX practice this year.

Appreciating that I grew in the booming metropolis of Verona, but actually received a proper education, I can't tell you how irritating this is ow that I live in Rye.

I will take this out on all of you during Sussex CX course design! 🙁

Not too far away from Sussex County too! Although Chris and I have some preliminary cx ideas in Sparta.

Chris and Bard are starting a new variation called WaterCross. It's like water skiing, except you use your CX bike instead of water skis.

They're building a bitchin' jump, so all you dirt jumpers will have some crossover skills that you can use.

Practices will be Sunday mornings on Lake Mohawk.
Bring your boat and your CX bike.
 
Soft start last week to get the spot dialed. Dialing was done.

This Wednesday (8/8) for reals. 5:30ish sharp. possibly a little earlier.

Let me know if you can make it-PM me for location details (close to GSP & Rte 3/Rte 46).
