getting ready...

Cyclocross season is right around the corner with City Bikes in DC hosting a race on September 16th and Baltimore's Charm City race the following weekend.

Snazzy new skinsuit awaits race season. New drivetrain components have been acquired and await installation on the Planet Cross. New right STI, rear derailleur, chain and cassettes will let the shifts be clean and crisp. Kinda like the 20 year old bourbon I've been enjoying lately.

Who else has been dreaming of 'cross season and races? come on, raise your hands, you know you have. I may have to switch from Old Pappy to Chimay soon. And start eating frites with mayonaisse.
