hello all. its been a while since i last posted some stuff, so here's what i've been up to.mary and i are housesitting for the guy in the picture while he vacations in europe. he is one of mary's triathlon buddies, and a cool dude. his house is great. it makes us really want to get out of crescent city and buy a house of our own. soon.
we decided we are just hanging out this weekend, and not racing. it seems every weekend i'm not working we've been traveling up and down the west coast in search of cyclocross races. it will feel good just to chill for once (and save a little money.)
i added another link to my list of choice internet real estate. molly cameron is a cross racer from portland, who also owns a small bike shop that specializes in everything cyclocross. he's sort of a weirdo, so his life is interesting to read about.
the job search is slow moving. if either of us doesn't have a job soon, we'll be traveling to colorado and doing the whole job application thing in person. probably the first part of next year.
i did a little modification to the cyclocross frame the other day. i grinded off the "lawyer tabs" on the fork to make wheel changes faster and easier. bike companies put these things on forks so half-tards who don't know how to use a quick-release don't sue when their wheel falls off. here are some pictures of my handywork. soon i will do it to my road bike.

I checked out the Molly Cameron site and from there went to Vanilla bikes. Possible the most obsurdly beautiful demonstrations in attention to detail I have ever seen. Up there with any frames we have all lusted after. Check them out. Lars
i know vanilla bikes well. i want one badly. their website doesn't do them justice. much more gorgous in person.
Watch out if you ever get a roof rack with those tabs gone! Your bike will fly off the top of the car unless you clamp it bitch-tight!
