 Will it look like this on January 8th? Quite a few area riders have headed off to the Cyclocross National Championship this weekend in Rhode Island. The local weather is reminescent of the 2000 Overland Park 'Cross Nationals. But the season isn't over! Shawnee will host a cyclocross race at a fresh venue on January 8th, 2006. Promoters Mark Thomas and Chris Locke are pleased to have the City of Shawnee's assistance in developing a 'village' style setting for the event. "Shawnee is the sister city of Pittem, Belgium and is proud of it's Belgian heritage, so a 'cross race is a great fit," says Thomas. Mr. Locke, after consulting area racers has added a single speed class, and notes, "This venue is perfect for the hard core or first time rider. We've got a heated building to thaw out in after races, lots of food, beer and fun!" You can register online at: www.velosource.com

This from Brent Hugh: "Bicyclists,
I hope you will plan to join us for a memorial ride Sunday December 11th for
Robert Osborn, the bicyclist who was so senselessly murdered recently.
Although I didn't know Robert, he lived just about 1/2 mile from my home and
rode many of the same routes I and my family ride daily and weekly. So this
really hit home for me.
Robert was an avid transportational cyclist. He owned three bicycles, usually
commuted to work on his bicycle, and rode all over the metropolitan area.
In short, he was one of us."

 Matt Kelly flys the barriers.
Kelly and Tilford traded the lead early on in the 60-minute event
through a tree-lined course at Wyandotte County Park. But with four
laps remaining, Kelly spun out and went down on a fast left-hand bend
just before a straightaway that took competitors through a pair of
spectator tents featuring a pair of barriers.
“Steve had 10 seconds or so on me so I thought I would take a risk to
close it down,” Kelly said. “There were plenty of people watching, so I
thought bunny-hopping the barriers would certainly give them something
to see.”
Leading by 14 seconds with a lap to go, Tilford didn’t let up, pushing
his lead over Kelly to a 1:22 advantage by the finish. The 45-year-old,
five-time masters mountain bike world champion consistently averaged
seven minute laps on the 2.7-kilometer course.
“There was a lot of pedaling and not a lot of resting on this course,
especially with the wind,” Tilford said. “Once Matt and I had a gap, he
wasn’t in any rush to lead. But I needed some UCI points for nationals,
so I decided to push the tempo."

Got your attention? Even better, how about free beer? This weekend you
can watch the KLM UCI Cyclocross and the Kansas/Missouri USCF
Cyclocross Championships, drink free beer (provided by sponsors
Michelob Ultra) and see some great bicycle racing. Guaranteed fun.
Bring a cowbell or other noisemaker and cheer the riders on. If the
frigid air bites you can duck into the heated tents and still see some
incredible action, including a nasty set of double barriers where the
course passes THROUGH the main tent. Location and race time details
