Cross oh-10

Ohio is beautiful in the fall, like a big ol' wedding cake. Cyclcross season is like icing on the cake. A very muddy painful icing that always ends up costing more money than you think it will. I'm looking forward to getting my butt kicked in the NEOCX series as well as participating in a few other races across the state. The Centurion is up and running with a new ( as of 1994) set of Dura Ace cranks given to me from the legendary Thom Dom. In addition to the cranks the Centurion has a shiny new surly singulator chain tensioner, which if it follows suit will last about a month before I start zip-tieing it to the frame.

I won't be able to make it to the spin weekly practices, but I feel that won't hold me back toooooo much.
