Spent the weekend up KC way. What an awesome place! Hills, trees galore, and weather was perfect all weekend. I don't know who called mother nature for that chunk early fall bliss, but I'll take it.
Found a house to rent. Nice little quiet, tree lined street centrally located to stores, etc. Oh, and right down the street from the local nature trail. Not the dirt variety, but a paved trail none the less. Besides, this winter, when it's covered in snow, it'll have the same effect as being off-road.
I have a race date as well! Sept. 18-19 they have the KC Cup. Sat. are the CX races and Sun. are the mtb races. I knew it wouldn't take long to find a competitive sampling of dirt up there. I'll be going back up that wknd for a "house hunting" trip anyhow, so I might as well rip it up with some of the locals on their trails:

In all, it was a very successful trip. I was pleasantly surprised with the area we are moving to(officially it's Overland Park, KS). we met a lot of friendly people(after all, it is the midwest) and most of all, it feels like home.
Now it's time to get the moving logistics all ironed out. We can get in to the new pad Oct.1st and that's what I'm shooting for as well. By the time I get there, the fall colors should be in full effect.
