Smells like cross. Smells like Speedvagen.

A crime: Taking it to "1"

My Speedvagen is dryer than your Speedvagen. Cleaner, better lubed. And way more vertical than it should be (on a hook. In the basement.)

Yes, I didn't get a chance to even attend the Grand Prix here in Portland this past weekend, much less bust out the Speedvagen for its final official race. Was helping a friend move all day Saturday (criminal, in and of itself) and pulled ligaments in my left hand (which is why we leave "moving" to who??? That's right, "movers.") Sunday was a no go too cause of all the self-induced misery...

Anyway, sorry Fixie for not being able to meet you. And to the rest of the cross world, sweet dreams.

Let's still try to run up the bandwidth with some Speedvagenosity, shall we?

Unicorns to you,
Andy

Estacada Timber Park:
Maybe the most epic, definitive day you could have for a course and the conditions in the history of the world.

I raced Master Cs and stayed all day for the Unofficial World SS CX Championships in the afternoon. Humbling is one word that comes to mind... Respect to all you guys and gals that pull off this shit in one gear without puking.

There were probably more but I saw like 12 Speedvaagen out there today... 2 grays, 1 pink, 1 raw, 1 red, 2 blues, 5 white team issues.

I'll see what pics I can get up here. It was good mud today, really.

[ BTW- thanks to all the Vets out there. ]
