GEEK OUT!

As Dale mentioned, High Peaks Masters is sitting in third place for the CO Cross Cup Team classification in the 35+ 4s.  We're going to wind up in 2nd place there, and maybe first if we can rally just a little to beat one key player.
Here's the analysis:

Obviously the Natural Way Racing Team has a sizeable lead on us.  Team Evergreen Racing also has a 10% edge on us.  But a quick glance at the "Congratulations, you're upgraded!" web page from the last two weeks shows that a certain Robert Brudenell (Natural Way) and Thomas Fiorillo (Team Evergreen) have both been upgraded.  Awesome!  Way to go, guys.

Brudenell is responsible for 86 of Natural Way's 146 points, and Fiorillo scored 66 of Evergreen's 77 points.  Neither of those guys will score another point in our beloved BDDL this season, so guess what?  We have four guys that have all notched top-20s this year and we're scoring an average of 14 points per race.  Team Evergreen only has one other rider who has scored 11 points all season, and we might overtake them as early as this weekend if we can put a couple guys in the top 20 and beat out that one guy.  The Natural Way team will be a tougher nut to crack.  54 of their non-Brudenell points have been scored by a certain Joseph Coffey, who I've had some trouble getting in front of:

Armin, however, has had slightly more success against this guy:

Coffey is also playing it cool enough to only have four upgrade points, so we can't wait for him to disappear.  We need to go out and beat this guy!  And take what's ours, which is first place in the team points.

So start hard, hammer your brains out and somebody bring me some 'embro' on Saturday.  Kirk got me hooked on that shit, then left me hanging on Sunday.  I was freezing on the starting line.
