Are you going to rock the Rockburn Cross this year, which is going down this Sunday outside of Ellicott City? You should, it's a great event and it's part of this year's MABRAcross Series.
You like that thing with the punctuation of MABRAcross? How it's MABRAcross and not MABRACROSS or MABRACross or something like that? Yeah. I'm getting wild here with the freeform puncutation. 'Cuz that's how I roll. You ought to see what happens when I set the computer to use non-ISO standard fonts. We're talking craziness.
Anyhow, Rockburn Cross is a really good event hosted by our friends with LSV, and some other people we're friends with. The fields are filling up quite a nicely (78 in the Cat IV's!) and it promises to be another throwdown on a classic cross course that has hills, gravel, fields, mud, a sand pit, and a huge playground where the kids can hang out while you race. Aside from the usual reasons to go race, the course is the attraction here - it isn't super technical but does offer a huge amount of variety in the terrain you cover, with fairly long laps. That makes it interesting, even when your brain is swimming in lactic acid and your breakfast is asking you to let it out a little early, through the front door.
Register for it here.
See you there.

I will be there for sure. My best race of the year was on this course last season.
Are you doing fairhill the day before?
Steve
Will there be vomiting opportunities?
-R
I'd think you could create your own vomiting opportunities, if you really wanted to.
I'm gonna have to miss spectating this one, as I'll be in Philly this weekend. Good luck, Jim, here's to no broken bones or components and keeping your guts intact.
Steve - probably no Fairhill. Good luck to you though.
Ryan - seems to me you're pretty good at the yakking. I don't see why you'd abstain from yakking here...
Kalidurga - thanks. Have fun in Philthydelphia.
Gonna be there this year - missed it last year 'cuz the family just wanted to spend time with me in someplace other than a cold, muddy field. Gonna have the Bike Rack cheering section for the Cat. $ race, then we're gonna be the Unholy Rouleur cheering section for your race.
