PJ It was COLD in the campground shelter but we had a nice fire going which made it very tolerable. Garry can always use extra folks to help with keeping the fire stoked at the shelter house, setting out the snacks, going out to pick up injured runners (there was one fellow who twisted his ankle that needed a ride from the trail back to his car), and serving hot chocolate. We'll put you on the volunteer list for next year! Karen

Thanks everyone..I do love my Nevegals, so I may stick with them....maybe I'll get the 'raptors and switch back and forth depending on the conditions

The cyclocross season is winding down, with 1 OVCX and 2 Cap City races remaining, and Nat's of course. Great job to all those that raced this Fall! Thanks for coming out to the Thursday CX practices at JB. I look forward to 2010 and starting them up again. Bring a friend and tell a buddy that cyclocross rocks.

I think a lot of it depends on your weight, tire pressure and riding style.... with that said.... 195, varies and sloppy. Hutchinson VST Pythons were good for me when new but are very loose in dust, not a problem this past year but was the previous. They seemed to age and round off quite quickly which made them even scarier as it got dusty. Almost always have decent forward traction and quite fast. Kenda Komodo was good on rear and front...

+1 for kenda nevegals. they seem to work in every condition i have had them in: dry, dusty, wet, sloppy, frozen, leafy, and soon snowy but never muddy

Great day out there! OVCX #14 - Foreign Riders Prevail @ Ohio State Cyclocross Championships Greasy to bone-chilling to idyllic - three contrasts in weather conditions and three words that characterize the last three events at OVCX events at John Bryan State Park. If today's race weather would have been any more perfect - it wouldn't have been cyclocross. Sunny skies and temps in the high 40s greeted the 300 riders from 8 states...
