The Heckle Report

I was thinking that part of 6 mile orange and red + power lines could be a super fun cx thingy

that is what i was thinking - but as Norm said, it is a demand side problem, so even if the cost of the location could be reduced to make money, it is a long
day for a smaller turnout....

I scoped out a few possible locations under utility lines. Great because nobody GAF about this land the easements are usually mowed a couple times a year and most have have access trails. I even started researching to figure out if there is a precedent for recreational events under said utility lines but probably got distracted by something shiny after a couple minutes. Big problem is the terrain is typically very bumpy and rocky enough that it wouldn't make for a very good CX course.

sounds like a great short track course tho!
 
A week ago I wasn't feeling to much towards cyclocross but I'm actually riding again and starting to feel better on and off the bike so my stoke-o-meter is on a huge upward swing.

Hopefully picking up CX parts today so I can get the Wraith back into tip top racing condition!

LETS TALK MORE CX AROUND HERE, I'M BUZZING.

Yes sir - i can't wait to get home from va-k. My fangos and new cassette will be waiting for me and that should complete the parts list to give my gravel grinding, commuting heavy bike a much needed make over consisting of:

New wheels - Velocity racing Major Toms
Tires: fangos
Drive trane: full 105 2by

Once its converted and tuned, it will be 6mile time

I hear you and your loving wife @mandi share wheels...

LOOKS LIKE YOU ONLY HAVE THREE TO GLUE, BRO.

I've seen pictures of the work she does with a brush, why would you consider doing the gluing. Mandi is the P-R-O.

I told James I'll happily glue the wheels....

TAKE THE DEAL @pearl

EGGS! $6 FOR 30 AT SHOPRITE. CLUB SAYVINGZ.

No but seriously I'm only regluing that rear I flatted in Gloucester. Mid spring the Stans let go and I decided to reseal it then let it sit in my furnace of an attic. I probably should have waited until now.

I glued my mud wheels in October and only rode them 2 or 3 times so I'm just going to risk those another year. Maybe I should do both carbons over.. It's just such a pain........ I guess I'll inspect that front. I'm also hoping to try a carbon patch on the rear while I have the tire off if I'm able to make some arrangements.
