You Get What You Ask For...

That is if you watched the Olympic MTB.  Both Men and Women complained about how the course was just a dirt road course.  Well pay back is a bitch.

If you watch the video you will see that this course really resembles the type of courses we encounter here in the Midwest.  Undulating, unforgiving, and unbearable hot with lots of humidity.  Many a rider paid dearly for opening their mouths and complaining about the ease of the old course.

Well after that they(UCI) sent in the four cross professor to set up the course to add some complexity to the course.  Let me tell you by watching that race he did an excellent job.  It is a very demanding trail with lots of baby heads, log jumps and drops and  nice little ditches to descend.  

I'm absolutely amazed by Julien Absalon.  Watching him descend was unbelievable but the real skills demonstration was by Jean-Christophe Peraud, a handy cyclocrosser from France.  Also take note, yeap the legend CX World Champion might be switching to fat knobby tires. I would be very nervous if I was in the World Cup series as soon as he makes his mind up what he wants to do.

Oh yeah CX season practice starts in two weeks, I'm really fired up for that.

BTW, if any of you crackheads are wearing My Wife Inc, wind vest please don't disgrace it to bad.  I would really like it back in the condition I left it on the road.
