CX schedule...what do you think?

By now you have all completely studied the preliminary schedule for CX Cupen 2011/2012. But for those of you in a cave or for those few that don't get all giddy as as a schoolgirl when cross season approaches, here is a link to catch up.

Things I like are:
1. The start early October. The snow and ice half of last season was not terribly fun.
2. We can choose 9 instead of every race. Then I can chicken out in Jkpg and Lund again and it won't matter.
3. Ludvika and Söderköping are on the list. Of the ones I raced last year, these two had all the CX elements.
4. MCK is last in the cup. So we can fix the party!

Things I wonder about:
1. In Kolmården will we need to keep ahead of hungry animals? If so, I need more training.
2. Sunne is sort of close to Torsby...does that mean we race around the Skitunnel? How about a winter triathlon Sven?

What does everyone think of this? Is anyone planning to race the whole thing or will you pick and choose close ones? I have no life and no wife so I could do the whole thing if I had my bloody new car. I might have it for the last weekend.

Questions:
That's a lot of races in a very small amount of time, the post Christmas cross hangover is going to be huge
How will the small club races manage?
What tubs should I glue for non snow/ice conditions ;-)

We can always have post-Christmas GöteborgsSuperprestige to take care of any hangovers.
Do you mean our local races? I am not sure. Hansen and you other Partille CKs should get into this discussion so we can have a nice balance between local and cup, Skatås and Eklanda.
All tubdäck questions, especially those about pressure, should be directed to Patrik. He has done the work...
