kicks update

the shoes leave a little to be imagined. Overall very nice to have the convenience of spds at any moment, but even after breaking them in they still feel like buckets on my feet.

Stybar took the championship again! If you check my twitter I predicated that. No top ten for the US mens as I had dreamed but maybe next year. jpow and page still raced well, even if I couldnt see them on the TV replay. How could the Europeans be so much better? I understand that their talent greatly benefits from the fact that the sport is professional in most of Europe, but nonetheless its not like they hide what kind of courses they use for racing or what kind of plans they use for training, or secretly train on the dark side of the moon. I mean they're not racing against Dolph Lundgren! If asymmetrical information and sheer fitness are not the culprits then what is? US racers report that European cross is a much rougher style of racing, fighting for lines, rubbing elbows and taking every cut throat advantage possible. European riders also run much more often and even unclip one foot going into a turn more often then Americans do..maybe this is enough of a difference...and then maybe we're just dandies
