Check out the wicked off camber, screaming fans, live band, and party tent. Well done, organizers!

Another exciting week at the Velopark. This was my first race after 4 weeks off due to a broken rib or two. I was late to the line so I failed to get a start that would launch me to the front of the race. As you know, being relegated early only puts you further from the front of the race in the first two laps. It changes the race to one of just moving up, which is it's own kind of fun. I managed to to that fairly well, as the video should show.

Only one crash, but it was a funny one. I "turtled" and didn't even come unclipped. I have gotten so go at crashing that it has become fluid.

I hope you enjoy.

Pictures from Saturday's Mens Cat 1/2/3 race. Sorry 4s, I have yet to perfect the art of racing and taking pictures at the same time. Great day of racing, sorry I couldn't make it Sunday.

As always, if you want copies of individual pictures, just write me an e-mail.

Thanks for check them out.

This was a wonderful course that I had little bit of trouble navigating. Let's just say I found the dirt a couple times. I ended up on my side three different times and twice on the same corner. From what I'm told, the Sunday races were a crash on every corner because of the rain and mud.

Congratulations to those who organized this event, it was fabulous.

I managed to catch a handful of crashes in this race including my own. No one was hurt to my knowledge although I have some tender ribs. :-)

This was a really fun course. Design by Alex Phipps, it had a ton of direction changes as do all of the Sandy Point events.it's not that big of a place and has very few areas where you can just go straight for a while. The sand was killer. Enjoy the two camera look. I think I'm going to add a third camera :-).

As we get closer to fall and those lovely crisp mornings thoughts turn to CROSS. With this in mind LOOK! Save a Life and Eastside Cycles are working on bringing you more CROSS. The plan is to have 2 week-ends one in October the 15th and 16th, one in November the 12th and 13th and the season finale being the Kringle Cross on the 18th of December. As we finalize all the details we will add to this but mark your calendar for more CROSS fun at the Velo Park.

Get your Cross on and we will see you in the mud.

Look for the 3rd installment of the Kringle Cross on the 18th of December this year. We are still working on the particulars but should be a fun time again and we will once again be a donation/drop off spot for the Salvation Army.

Thanks you to everyone that came out and helped to make this race so much fun to organize from the volunteers and participants to the sponsors and spectators it was a truly wonder day. Wanted to give everyone a quick update as well, thanks to everyone's generosity 106 toys were donated to The Salvation Army, and $120 was raised for Sarma Pavlis. I said it last year and I will say it again the cycling community is a truly great group of people to come out and stand in the snow and ice and cheer for everyone all day long. Results will be posted at www.catapult3.com/solutions/kringle_cross_results_2010.pdf and if I can figure out how to put them up on the results page here at Idahocyclocross.com I will do that as well. Thank you again and hope to see some of you over in Bend.

Thanks, Brian Price

I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed racing it. Thank to Sherwin and Liggett for the extra help.
