GET YOUR TRAVEL PLANS IN ORDER

The fall cross schedules are starting to hit the web sites. I for one cannot be any more excited! Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois all have tentative schedules on there respective web sites. Many are showing Sat-Sun weekend's of racing, all within 3 hours of home. The first mad-cross uci weekend looks to be a huge road trip in the making. Add that to Jingle cross Thanksgiving weekend, and Mid West crossers have nothing to complain about. Chicago area has some races that fall on several open weekends so I hope to support there scene also. A big PLEASE and THANK YOU in advance to the DICE racing team of the Quad Cities. If you guys run and support all the races you have on the Iowa schedule, it will be one amazing cross season!!!!!! For a guy who has raced "0" times this year, I am jonzin to race and see my friends. From what I have calculated on paper, barring injury or bankruptcy, there could be 20+ races on my resume by season end. The new race bike is almost out of the shop, and the practice bike is being used weekly. Can you feel it? Cross is almost here!!!!! Ty

I was up at the Mississippi Bluffs where some of the DICE guys were last saturday. I suggested using Discovery Park in Muscatine as a possible venue for one of their cross races, since they still have many listed as TBA.
Fellow cyclist Eric Furnas works for the county, so should be easy to get permission.
Anyway they mentioned your name (Jeff Abel, matt Klemish), so can you take it from there? I would like to be able to race just a few miles from my house and that park would work great. Thanks in advance.
