Most serious UCI riders peak near the end of the season since they are on their way to Europe to fill the "elite scrub" that you plan on occupying domestically. <br /><br />If I were you, I'd concentrate on slaying Green Mountain so that you can get some points early on.RMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586927082756267932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026613116977314546.post-28165595537422659912009-06-25T23:26:33.680-04:002009-06-25T23:26:33.680-04:00Recently upgraded to "elite scrub," my m...Recently upgraded to "elite scrub," my main goal this season is to have some non-embarassing finishes in UCI races. My best chance of this is at the end of the season when the fast people are starting to get burnt out from starting the season in March. Thus... no August racing for me, gotta peak late!Colin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289923497258059725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026613116977314546.post-50749263276667005872009-06-25T19:24:09.201-04:002009-06-25T19:24:09.201-04:00Cary's remarks just seconds my assertion that ...Cary's remarks just seconds my assertion that the pre season races are the hacks' chance to shine, the fast guys shun those events.RMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586927082756267932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026613116977314546.post-62857844070411075202009-06-25T18:01:51.897-04:002009-06-25T18:01:51.897-04:00I shun these early season races.

REAL CX is Gloucester, NoHo, Sterling, NBX, etc. Cyclocross would also be way less awesome if races were held 12 months out of the year.
