Green Monster

Wow, check this Belgie flyover planted in the bluegrass of Kentucky. The green monster is going to challenge the legs and skills of all riders this coming weekend at the first stop of the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross in Louisville. It has the run up on one side and a ride down on the other. I'd be fine on the run up, but getting in the pedals for the steep downhill on the other side immediately would be sketchy at best. I can easily see many riders rolling down on their saddle only and getting bucked at the bottom (yee-haw!). At the beginning of the season I had planned to make this race, but it's too much travel for the fam right now. This course is going to be sick on the remnants of an old golf course, it will be true Belgie style with this new flyover. Rain is in the forecast for the first part of the week in KY, so it could be a weekend of mudfilled mayhem.
