X-Men Cycling Club

As of February, The X-Men Club dues are paid and current for the 2010 racing season. That means if you have yet to renew your license for 2010, and you plan on wearing the stripes this year, make sure you indicate The X-Men club ID 6034 on your renewal form. We’ll be posting info soon on how you can pre-order team clothing for the upcoming season, in case you missed out on the last round.

I’m looking forward to 2010 as the year the X-Men get back into the Utah racing scene. We’ll call it a rebuilding year of sorts. Thanks to all the past, present, and future X-Men club members for sticking with it.

Our winter clothing order from Squadra arrived in Park City on Christmas Eve, so thanks to everyone who pre-ordered. We currently have a few extra Long Sleeve thermal jerseys and windvests, so if you missed the pre-order period, stop on over at the store and grab what is left.

• Just spoke to Lt. Dan at Squadra. The cold weather gear is supposed to ship today, so it's looking good for stripes under the tree. #

I talked to the folks at Squadra, and the long sleeve jerseys and vest should hit Park City next week. If you placed an order, I will be following up with you as soon as the goods arrive. They will come in handy for nordic skiing, winter riding, and for some, next season is right around the corner (not me, I got a lot of skiing to do).

Below is a photo taken on Thanksgiving Day, about halfway up Snow Canyon in St. George, Utah. It’s a great ride, so if you find yourself looking to get some down south riding in, definitely try the scenic Snow Canyon loop. Bring a few dollars in case the State Park ranger makes you pay. We rolled through and got on the bike path, no problem.

• Happy Thanksgiving to all X-Peeps! Do a good ride with good friends, and enjoy the day. #

Even though many of the diehard cyclocross racers have been praying for rain, snow, and mud, I have been digging this warm and sunny weather. Nice to sneak out for a lunch ride and not have to get all bundled up with winter gear. Yesterday, I went out with a co-worker from Welikesmall. We rode from Sugarhouse up to 3300, then up to Wasatch Blvd. Saw lots of riders cruising Wasatch, then ran into Ben Attridge who was riding the other way. This weather won’t last. I’m predicting that this Saturday’s CX race at the Weber Fairgrounds will be the last dry one.
