next season?

im looking at the 2010 MASS calendar and im thinking about which races i want to do vs which races i can do. my schooling, and collegiate road season, and distances i must travel to get to races (as well as a job and trying to get off work etc. etc.) are all playing into my very tentative pencil-me-in-for-now plans. but dont use a pencil, its too permanent. im thinking about doing the opener at patapsco MD, the fairhill MD race, escape from granogue (3rd place last year, through all the shit colored mud) and hopefully the french creek race the week after (where i had my epic pedal failure riding to my tent from the registration booth). there are other ones id like to do in the MASS, as well as some other non MASS ones which i have not yet found, but know exist. i was thinking about a stage race, but i dont think it is in my budget, as i am just a pathetic college kid who gets even deeper into dept every day (a 50 minute class session costs me roughly 36 bucks, not including books/living etc.), and im about to blow some cash moneys on some new brake pads for my gt and a rim form my IF. bikes suck because they take all my money and life sucks cause i cant buy more time. im going to go drown in the "enduro proteen cheesecake" i cooked up earlier.
