Season Winding Down
paul boudreau
As the cyclocross season winds down I wanted talk briefly about the
last two races: NBX Gran Prix in Warwick this weekend and the Ice
Weasels Cometh the following weekend.
NBX GP is the final race of the Verge series and the Shimano series.
As a partner of ECV, Mazda will be on hand to show off their cars and
meet cross racers. If you're racing or spectating, please take the
time to say hello and thank them for their support. Mazda is excited
about their involvement with ECV and cyclocross. We hope to continue
our partnership in 2012.
The following weekend is the unofficial season ender, the Ice Weasels
Cometh. This race is a blast. In general the emphasis is on fun more
than actually racing for a result. There are plenty of adult beverages
passed to riders DURING the racing. It really is a festive celebration
of the season. ECV will be there in full force with riders in all
categories and a hospitality tent.

I wanted to leave you with one final thought. A former ECV member who
moved away from New England recently showed up at a local cross race
and was blown away by the numbers of ECV members. He said it felt like
the good old days (back in the 90s there were TONS of ECV at cross
races).
Happy Holidays! Enjoy the decent weather while it's here and RIDE!
