States this weekend

I can see it!! I can see it!!!

The finish line for this year's cross season is upon us. There has been much drama and gossip on where States would be held. Everyone loves the Xillinx course. Nobody wants to race at the Boulder Res at this point. ICCC course was a new fun place to race at. Where it wont be will be Gunny or Frisco with all the snow flying up there. So on Sunday the hot rumor was Lyons and then confirmed with the ACA.

Lyons, where the hell is Lyons? This sounds like a long drive from me. Will I need to take a snack with me? A full tank of gas? Use GPS? Mapquest? Maybe I should Google it up? This is what was found:

Bohn Park is just south of the confluence of the North and South St. Vrain Rivers. This beautiful park was recognized by the Colorado Lottery for creative use of funds. Bohn Park has lighted ball fields, a playground, fishing ponds, a shelter house and restrooms, picnic area and a fishing ramp for the handicapped

The forcast has been heading to the deep freeze for the last couple of days. It started with highs in the 40's, then mid 30's and now they are calling for a high of 19 degree's at race time, but it will feel like 9 degrees. This alone should keep most fair weathered of racers away...but not die hard cross racers.

When the weather get's cold, the real hard men of the season keep showing up. They are there when it is in the mid 70's in September and there when the snow is flying in December. After they are done racing, they change clothes, grab a beer and hang out to rehash the race and support thier fellow racers.

Hope to see everyone's smiling face on Sunday...because it is the last race of the season!!!!
