recap

You'll have to pardon me for the late Hellcat recap, the weekend kind of sent me reeling, and work has kept me up to my ears.  So lets get to the sweet stuff.  Organizing events is a totally different vibe than racing them. It's weeks of getting stuff in order and running around and cleaning up when it's all done.  That's why it's awesome to be able to put in half as much work as you should have to into an event and still have the results you are looking for pan out. More than the planning, it says a lot about the community involved and willing to show their support and enthusiasm for stuff. 

 With that said I want to thank the 40 racers who showed up, hung out, and brought the best vibes anyone could ask for.  This race was organized a little different than previous years with a system of pick ups, dopr offs, and lots of drinking opportunities.  We started by pulling everyone up campus hill and having a mass rolling start from the Putnam Heights ice skating rink  

 We released the hounds and hit a few checkpoints to watch racers come in.  In what felt like no time flat people started coming in to pick up one of our suprises.  Why carry wood to the after party yourself when you can make racers do it. You're looking at first and second place by a long shot here.

 The after party was stocked with food, beer, and massages.  Not to mention fires, wrastl club, dancing, metal, bike massacre, and roller riding.

 I browned out somewhere between pizzas showing up and the third keg being carried outside to the fire and around 2:30 it was time to hit the road. I really want to thank all the great people who showed up and raced or pitched in to this race, you are the ones who make this fun.  If you missed it, then shame on you.  You had better redeem yourself by making it to Another Year on the Streets, Carson Park Cyclocross, and all three of the upcoming Ghettocross races coming up(more info soon).  Too much fun
