Infirmary Mound CX by Breakaway Quickdirt Trek

11/21/2016

The Thrilla in Granvilla is in the books, and, just like Hollywood, the sequel is already being discussed ("have your people call my people; we'll do lunch.") And, just like a Tinsel Town movie, we have a huge (will we ever be able to say that word again with a straight face?) supporting cast to thank.

Executive Producer: Dan at Breakaway Cycling. The Thrilla would not have happened without his support. Period.

Directors: Allen, Chris, Jack, Kate, and Mark -- for taking an idea discussed during long training rides and making it a reality.

Crew: Allen's friends (Allen, please post up their names!), Katie, Dan F., Chadd, James, Joe, Max, and Mike -- for braving the cold and getting whatever was needed done.

Voice Overs: Julie and Scot, for keeping us informed and entertained.

Support: Paul at Breakaway. I don't think he worked on a single bike all day, but he was there braving the elements from start to finish.

Awards: Butch and crew at Breakaway.

Craft Services: Sophie's Gourmet Pierogi. The perfect post-race food for a cold, blustery day.

I hope I remembered everyone. If not, post up!

Tomorrow, when we've had a little time to rest and recover, we'll thank all of the volunteers -- and there were many -- who helped put on the Thrilla in Granvilla.

Tonight, however, we want to thank all of the racers who came out and helped support our first-ever Cap City race. It was a challenging day, to say the least, and Mother Nature threw at us pretty much everything she had. But the course held up nicely, and the racers did what racers do -- they lined up and raced!

Thank you all, and we'll see you next year!

So you missed the pre-registration deadline for the Thrilla in Granvilla? Don't worry, it will still be alright alright alright . . .

Day-of registration will take place at the event starting at 8 am. Remember, DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS ONLY -- park rules prohibit cash transactions in the park (no, I really have no idea why.) Be sure to bring your USA Cycling license, or you can purchase a one-day license for just $10.

We're pleased to announce the COMBO Mountain Bike Patrol will be helping out at the Thrilla. You'll see them circulating around the outside of the course, looking to help with broken course tape, downed barriers, etc. Patrol riders are also trained in first aid, should any basic medical assistance be needed. Big thanks to COMBO for the help!

And don't forget, pre-registration for the Trilla ends at 11:59 pm tonight. Get out to Bikereg and get signed up!

You don't *have* to have a beard to race CX, but when you see a beard this epic, you just know it's going to be attached to a 'cross racer!

To everyone who has served or is currently serving -- thank you! To the families who supported and support these brave men and women -- thank you!

It is only through your service and sacrifice that the rest of us are allowed the freedom and security to partake in inconsequential, yet extremely enjoyable, activities like cyclocross.
