Sunday in November
So this is a cross post from the cyclocross blog (pun intended). This weekend was a huge weekend for the proteus cyclocross "team". We've had more and more green jerseys coming out at the 'cross races as the season has progressed (you would think that it would go the other way since it's getting colder and colder) and yesterday's race was a big one. We had six riders who in the women's B and Men's C race. But along with that, we had a number of friends and family also there. I put the word "team" in quotes because we're not a team in a conventional sense. If you go fast and do well, that's cool. But if you don't, that's cool too. So here's two pictures compliments of CJ's camera (I can only assume that she didn't take both, because she's in one of them). The first is Greg, who raced for the first time because he thought it looked like fun. He's in a borrowed jersey on a borrowed bike. And the second is 3 friends on a cold Sunday in November.

fun stuff from interbike
So the blog wasn't around when I was @ Interbike so I never got to do a proper report.
I can hardly do one now more than a month after the fact, but I figured it was a good chance to mention a few cool things and put up some funny pictures.
SRAM has a new gruppo coming out called RED. It's Ultralight and works on the same principles as Force and Rival. They had a lot of bikes set out so you could try it. It shifted super smooth and looks pretty slick.
I got to do the photo/autograph thing. I'm not one to get starstruck but there are a Greg Lemond is an exception. I also got a picture with Phil Ligget, because you know...he's Phil Ligget.
I also got pictures with Cyclocross Phenoms Barry WIcks and Ryan Trebon who seem like pretty cool guys. I met them last year and they were nice. Here's a conversation I had with them:
- My friend Wes said I should get a picture with you guys because you're so tall and I'm short.
- Yeah, you are really short=
.
As always, there was some pretty fun stuff there. We ordered some of it. SOmething we got in a few weeks ago but you may not have noticed are KRIEG CYCLING Seat Bags. I actually recognized the guy because he also makes Chalkbags for rock climbing. The cool thing about them is that they are not boring! It's easy to get tired of black nylon everything. If you want to add a little flavor to your bike, you can pick up one of these bad boys. They're not too big and not too small, just enough to hold all the essentials. We have a lot of different styles in the shop, but this one (although flashy) is pretty photogenic as well.

Want to try road racing?
Artemis is one of the teams we work with at the shop. They have an introduction to Road Racing clinic going on this weekend. Check it out. Maybe one day, you'll be as cool as this guy:
Here's the info, Click it for a link:
Have you ever thought about giving bike racing a try, but are not quite sure how to do it? What makes racing different than fast, hard group rides? Do other people ask you if you "race?" Or maybe you just want to be a more proficient rider.
This clinic is aimed at the athletic road bike rider who has never raced before and wants to give it a try. The information provided spans the very basics of riding for racing on and off the bike, and to the special skills needed for different kinds of races.
Basic information from how to get a license to local resources will help you get past the paperwork and to feel comfortable when you arrive at your first race. Training tips and targeting your strengths will get you ready this winter to race next spring with confidence!
