Nothing like a little Professional Cross racing to start the day. Here.
One day.... Riders will be paid like that here in the states and races will look like that.

Although $121 pays for a lot of tolls, if you are the dangerous type that likes cruising thru the EZpass lane without a little magic white box against the windshield, you need this.

East Coast Interbike!
The Trials Stunt Show was fun. Though no one knew how to make noise for it.
Tested... The Parlee CX bike with Edge carbon clinchers....
Great ride.... Stiff & efficient. Chattery-while-braking front fork though.
Parlee 's racks were made of carbon....
Tested ( and abused). Nicolai with SRAM Hammerschmidt. Heavy bike that likes to be thrown off things. Hammerschmidt feels like it was built by NASA.
D.Y taking the full carbon Scott Genius 20 off a little marble slab. Carbon is strong!
Just some Rhode Island wildlife seen while riding out on the road bike loop.
The baggy shorts bandits stealing a pair of outta-their-league Parlee Time Trial rigs. Very stiff bikes
A while ago we decreed:
"Here are 3 things that can ensure that the east coast event is as successful as the west coast daddy:"
Swag - In Reality what we found in Providence: Very little..... nea, none. Grade : F
Beer - Bud or Bud light at the end of the day by Pedro's : B minus ( clam chowder was good )
Stars - None. Well, Zellman the bigwig from SRAM was seen working the booth. The Keough brothers were selling raffle tix for a TV to raise money for another Championship winning trek. And Adam Sullivan was seen in his civies wandering aimlessly. Richard Fries was surrounded by Paparazzi & completely inaccessible all day long..... Grade - D plus
OVERALL - B minus. The single track was fun, albeit very brief. Bikes were always available to ride. And parking was a breeze. Plus no desert conditions ( choking hot dust, radioactive sunlight, razor sharp rocks ) to deal with. Lack of downhills was frustrating.

A good article about the recent success of a good guy here.
Tuft surprised many people with a second place in the WORLD ( not North American mind you, not the Canadian, the world ) Time Trialing Championships. Those of you that didn't notice the silver medal should right now. People respect him. He is known to be "clean" and will have a much deserved spot on the Chipotle team next year.
This guy has Rockstar written all over his mug. Read the story, throw away your razor, fill an extra water bottle with lead ball bearings, kill your next supper, go out and get stronger.

When worlds collide, I easily get confused and emotionally withdrawn...
I never ever ever thought id be thinking about cycling in the same way as I have been known to wrap my brain around NHL hockey by EA Sports or the game of football by John Madden....
But now the chance to be on the bike, while off the bike recovering... Is here.

Here is an interesting product that we at the shop would love to try.
Tho i get the feeling that it may just be double sided carpet tape of some variety. In which case you never need to spend more than $9 for a roll

File under "nearly a good idea"...
a metal plate with a message to put into your carry on luggage... The x-ray screener reads it and has a chuckle... Haha.. You're so witty....
Seriously though, as I was returning from Vegas i put my Egg Beater pedals into my carry-on. First stop; McCarren International... the screener simply paused and looked my way toward as i waited for the bag and asked. "You got bike pedals in here?". Dude knew his stuff. I said yes and the bag emerged... We actually had to go thru security in Newark again to get on the connecting flight... 2nd time thru, the screener stopped, tilted his head, called someone else over... Discussed it among themselves, called a 3rd person over... Bag got pulled for inspection. I said nothing... Didn’t take too long to find them and the kind lady looked at them with those latex gloves on, seriously confused as to what they were... Lots of "ohhhhh, I get it now" when i ended up saying what they were... As i walked away, She advised me "pack those away next time, they got a lot of suspicion...."
