Around SBN: The Animated GIFs Of January

Mud, Sweat and Gears.

Wet cross! muddy cross! Good times had by all.  There were some souvenirs.  Day four of the Utah Cyclocross series saw overcast skies for all classes.  Then the mens's A's lined up.  A mild day turned into classic cross weather.  Chilly, wet and slimy.  The usually suspects turned up.  One individual was heard to comment, "You really have to love racing your bike to show up today."  In response, "You really have to love taking pictures..."

no argument here....

350 was a promo they did on the 350 ppm. the point where particulates are suggested to affect global warming. Her names may be Shannon… You need an intro? She had a big fan club already…

Well.......

Maybe it won’t last and you can be ‘rebound guy.’

in that first picture...

…I think I see V brakes and shimano brifters, but it doesn’t look like there’s anything like a Travel Agent to correct the cable pull rate mismatch. What gives??

by gregm on Oct 25, 2009 9:12 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

noticed that too.

Single chain ring up front, so no need for a brifter. Even with a brake-only lever, I’m still not sure you would get really firm front braking without the travel-agent.

Beautiful pics as always.

Meanwhile, Nys wins the Koppenberg Cross over Albert. From Sporza:

It placed a searing breakaway Sven Nys. He drove the rest of the wheel and behind him splashed the group explained. Niels Albert did not have to return everything, but he stranded a few seconds.

Very cool. I hate having to return stuff.

Beeyootiful

I really really love the shot of Kathy Sherwin. This one, I mean.

Head plant pictures.

    I want to see head planting, seems every other cyclist is wearing a dirt helmet.

    Doesn’t very one know #2113, I grew up with him and he’s been riding around my neighborhood for what seems like forever. Kids and bikes rock.

Maybe it's those New England roots.

There are few things better than

Thanksgiving and cross. I even managed to find a race near my in-laws house that I can do while away for the holiday.

I love the East Coast.

So the next adventure is Longmont and Boulder Colorado (both UCI2).

Winter storm warning up for the entire state currently, 3-5 inches of snow in Denver, someone said as much as 14 in Boulder… We just had our first winter storm and it was wimpy.
