weekend of rest

is in order. no races this weekend, so i am taking a few days of easy rest before the i start the build up of more cross races which will end up in december.

looks like i am hitting up 2 races on nationals weekend - the masters race the day before and then elite nationals the next day. it's going to be a hella fast weekend.

got a couple of cross parts reviews coming up - a twofish bottle cage that attaches the frame via a velcro strap. why? because twofish, like myself, hate unsightly bottle cages on our cross bikes. so, put the cage on, take it off during cross practice, and put it back on for the ride home. 'nuff said.

and..

imagine you have "spooky" type brakes - the are super cool, super light and get you bonus bling points because you have a tricked out cross bike with tricked out brake pads. but... you call speedgoat and go...

"uh, i have some spooky brakes and i want to know how to adjust the brake pads"

dan the man will probably tell you - "ahhhh..... you can't adjust those brakes"

and you will say "what?"...

well, imagine the adjustment for the brake pads is actually ON the brake pad itself... hmmmm... ingenious.. watch for that review coming up when i get my new wheels in.

for now, i rest - next post coming at ya' monday.

sologoat out.
