Best of the Rest: 11-10-11

Some folks needed a few extra days to recover from the Weekend's Fast.  Here's the best of the rest as the reports and images keep coming in...

• One Up, Five Down has some great images.  By "great," of course, I mean "really bizarre" in terms of the costume-aspect of cyclocross.  You really have to see this one to understand. 
• He's all about the kill points and Chuck Kyle's kill points are getting higher and higher every week. Keep up with him if you can and pass him when you can.
• If you want to know what Patapsco X (and other races) looked like, you'll need to check out the photos Kurt Long put out there.
• Ryan Dudek of TOMS Shoes has some great shots and video of the Bear Creek Cross.  I didn't do this one, but sort of wish I had now that I've seen these.
• Speaking of Bear Creek Racing, here's what SunnyBrook Racing has to say about it.
• Jay Westcott just keeps posting and editing and editing and posting.  You'll want to look at his latest offerings today even if you did it earlier this week.
• I love me some new blogs and I love me some Sticky Fingers.  So this new blog by Sticky Fingers' Dana Stryk might be Reluctantly CX, but I'm not reluctantly reading.

That's got to be about all there is.  But if you've got more, send them to me so I can waste time more efficiently.

Some folks are still recovering from the way things should'a been this weekend and the reports and items of interest keep coming in...

• One of the folks who is recoverig is me and I think I subconsciously expressed displeasure for the nice hipsters at Money 'N' Stuff by messing up the link to their podium highlights.  Dang me.
• Okay, it's a few levels above our normal stuff, but "First UCI Win" is a nice title for Renner Custom at the Beacon Cross and it deserves a look-see from you.
• Squadra Coppi got down and dirty at Kinder Kross and they have a picture to prove it.  Handling and guile proved to be the order of the day.
• When your report features my photo, I'm always going to highlight it.  If you are Hip Rouleur, you're photo of me actually makes me look good.

Now from the "Photo of the Week" file, we can't let the week go by without focusing your attention on the weirdness that is cyclocross...

 I would love to give credit where credit is due, but this was just sent in by J.R. Petsko, our West Virginia Cycling Promoter-Extraordinaire...

Most reports of how it could'a happened and images of The Fast come in on schedule.  Here are some of the best of rest (from those who needed an extra recovery day!):

• I Race CX and his girlfriend hit up some of the action at DCCX and one elite field is going to get a new rider soon.
• I think the WashAngeles Cycle thinks he's in the running for a "Daily Distractions" award.  Sorry, no free socks this time; but I'm happy to ogle your girlfriend if that's what you were going for...
• Want to see a little Fast?  Shreya Mehta sends a shout out to DCMTB for the great race.  We send the shout out for some great shots!
• In The Crosshairs has some video coverage of the festivities and they graciously sold me some sweet socks this weekend!  Love them!
• He was Learning How To Suffer; now he's learning how to do really well while suffering (or at least to put it all in perspective).
• Many teams give away beer.  North Tek-Aria gives away tents.  I like these guys but wish they gave out beer (to me, not just to winners).
