WEEK 12

Some course tweaks to be made, but other than that the Trail Buddies provided a good home for SCCX. Some pedal clips here and there, blown turns followed by the sound of snapping sticks, and a lax setup of the cyanover. At the end of the day, good times on the bike. Let's get down to race deets.

Good turnout after our time off. Deathblow, Biscuit, Celery Stalks, Ivy Meister, Legal Tender, and our newest member El Sucio Lobo. Welcome to the world of renegade cross. Legal Tender went hard off the start, tapping into some aggression from not racing for two weeks. Let it loose cause it pays off. SCCX now hands out hole shot points to keep it interesting. 100pts, put 'em on the board. The territory was new to everyone, but Legal Tender kept the train on the tracks and led us though our virgin lap. Deathblow was all to verbal about his low tire pressure on the leadout lap. Biscuit heard the cry from cat town and capitalized on the advantage. He took charge on lap 2 and never looked back. The course was well suited to his skillset and managed to wrangle out his first SCCX win. Deathblow and El Sucio Lobo round out the SCCX podium. On other parts of the course the carnage was playing out. Ivy Meister literally planting his face in the dirt after the roll in and Celery Stalks abandoning the race due to a mechanical. Don't worry, Trail Buddies are one the job, tweaking the weird stuff. We'll get 'er flowin' like the Green Mile.

Good shake-up in the standings. Legal Tender making a huge jump up to 5th, but now tied with Ivy Meister. The best of the B's are starting to rise. El Sucio Loco putting his stamp on the board with 250 for his first showing. Will he keep this momentum and crawl his way to the final SCCX podium? Will Legal Tender be the first to knock Batwing off of his first week 1,000 pt, 4th place stronghold? Does JFlats have a response to any of this? The final podium is anyone's call, cat town mayor is on the edge of his litterbox!

WEEK 12 Preview

SCCX crew back in action. Rising out of the ashes of two weeks of confusion over participation, the remaining die-hards made a bold move to merge with the Trail Buddies for a new course location. It remains to be seen how the new location will be received, but it was a necessary move that mother nature and turncoat SCCX leaders help shape. The Trail Buddies have been hard at work and don't want to disappoint. "While we may not have ritualistic animal sacrifices or half of the strappers that SCCX had toe up to the line," says TB spokesperson, "we do have a mayor in office and pack as much punch as possible into our dumping grounds back lot." Sounds like SCCX will be right at home. Four loko, cyanover, and the barriers have been brought over as small housewarming gifts. With more singletrack than grass, it really is a whole different race. SCCX Overlord has no prediction or teasers. It's a new SCCX world. A Trail Buddies SCCX world. Deal with it dog, I mean cat.
