Where the wild roses grow

Upcoming races for the Kentucky Points Series, XC. I'm hoping that they'll resurrect the classic Mud, Sweat, and Gears race at Butler Park to kick it off. If so, it should be in the next couple of weeks. Depending on my overall condition I may decide to enter both the singlespeed class and the Cat 2 class; if I end up having doubts I'll just stick with the singlespeed class. My geared racing bike is in dire need of a tune up and a few upgrades, and I'm waiting on my tax return to get here so I can take care of those. If it doesn't get here in time, well, I'll still put in the work on it but just use it for certain trails in the area.

My Soma Juice is my baby, though. I could get another 29" rear wheel and run it as a 1x9, but why bother when I could just ride the 26" geared bike? Not to mention it's rather satisfying rolling up to the trails on the fully rigid monster and being able to hold my own on group rides.

We'll see.

Anyway, here are the races as I know of them at this time.
