Maybe I should have just skipped the last couple rants and just posted this. Thank God It’s Friday. Cross Clinic this weekend in Kansas City.

Those two words pretty much describe me right now. I stayed up way too late screwing around with my cross bikes for the clinic this morning in Kansas City. I love working on bikes, that is a big part of the attraction of the sport to me. There aren’t many sports where the equipment aspect of the sport is so enjoyable, or important. Especially in cross. I’m going to be reading this in a few months and won’t believe I wrote it because I’ll be so sick and tired or messin’ with cross bike, but now it seems new and refreshing.

Okay, I really have to get going. I’m hoping not to be a zombie out there today, though I did sleep a few hours. It is always fun showing people how to get faster on a bike. Especially cyclocross, since it is very easy to make improvements.

Titanium is the perfect material for a cyclo-x bike. Virtually indestructible, perfect for power spraying, and no paint to chip off. I hope to have electronic shifting on my bikes soon. Until then I’m sticking with 7800. I hate having to unwrap my bar tape to chance the shift cables all season.
