CYCLING NEWS has updates from criterium championships that were held last week. congrats go out to local A&F team for two in the top ten and paul martin who came in the top 20.
and, WOBBLENAUGHT fit guru Jim Baldasare has a pretty kewl pic up on the cycling news site during the cat 1 race. you can check him out here. he's got the field strung out big time in this pic.
to note, jim has won this race in years past with the GOMART team. the year he won, paul martin led him out at some unbelievable speed and everybody was holding on for dear life. paul led the field out so fast that he actually opened up a gap on a flat section of road. when paul is on, paul is flying.
not mucho going on these days, just laying low trying to stay healthy and rest up for the last enduro races of the year. preliminary on the cateye heart rate monitor is that it seems to be working really well. nice options, nice price, etc. i think it is the next best alternative to sigma in the lower end heart rate monitors. sometimes i think that the higher end monitors just has too many buttons - they are nice to play with during a training ride, but when you are in the heat of the battle in a race and all you want is to see your heart rate and time, it can be a hassle to go through all the buttons just to see what your heart rate is without running into a tree.
that's just my 2 cents.
schwalbe has some nice cross tires called the CX PRO that are avaialable in both foldable and wire bead. tread looks very similar to the TUFO design and comes in at just a tad under 300 grams a tire for the foldables. they'll be on my next order along with a set of STELVIO for the road bike to finish out the season. why the stelvio? dual compound for longer wear pattern, light, puncture resistant.... and they have multiple color options including pink. heck ya.
that's it - gotta ride.

Is it true that Speedgoat is clearing out Asylum frames because they will no longer be available when Titus starts making their own 29er? I read this over on MTBR.COM in the 29er forum.
don't know some of what is going on with titus, and i don't know how much chris from speedgoat wants me to get into this, but i know there is limited quantities of what they have in stock.
chris has been working with asylum projects like crazy and any speculation about asylum not being around is nonsense.
also, i want to point out what a lot of people get wrong on the forums is that yes, titus made the frames. but the main frame geometry was all the work of chris at speedgoat and it was based off of the racer x rear end.
even the idea of doing a 29er was speedgoat chris's origingal thought.
yes, titus will be making aluminum 29er's - but watch out for a few things to be happening with asylum in the upcoming months.
just keep your eye on my blog and the asylum website for details.
