It’s fall and that means two things here ‘In The Hudz’ – trade shows and cyclocross. The first I consider to be the bane of my existence until I actually get there, then I enjoy it for a day or two, and eventually return to the BoE feelings by the third day. The second is the reason that I still love bikes. 

This weekend is the BlueSky cross at Xilinx in Longmont. I think that I’ll head over there and see some of my people. Might even fill the truck with Hudz and try to sell some. That may be a bit more effort than I want to go through a week before VeloSwap, so that may actually get ditched.

Personally, I have been without a cross bike for longer than I like to think is real. Fortunately, I have a carbon-Alu number coming from Alan here shortly, and a steel bike from Chris Kopp in Denver (my design, his fabrication, should be killer). From there it will be a race to see how fast I can get them built up and ready to roll. Other cool projects to follow… Maybe one like this…

 

Sorry, Brian, I stole the pic, but it's too cool...
