Technical Difficulties

Having issues with rendering and uploading my design work for tonight's deadline. At least my phone works. Got my new case that I put one of my photos on. Ah yes, singletrack. Better hit some up soon before I go crazy.

Week in Review

Riding has been keeping me sane but at the same time it really wears me out. Been putting in 12-16 hours of design work a day. Makes the eyes feel like they are bleeding. Really feeling like an experiment subject in a sleep deprivation study. Weird dreams and bad songs get stuck in the brain have been a recurring theme. Luckily my great friend Bear drags me into the pain cave just to make sure everything makes sense. So thank you Bear for making my legs feel like meat sticks.

And this is the song that has been stuck in my head lately.

Night Approaches

Spotted this on an after dinner walk with the oldest.

Finally Fall

The crisp mornings sure feel good. The leaves are slowly changing color as Fall has finally arrived. Its my favorite season and some fun rides are in store if I can find the time and get all the design work done. For some reason I'm not overly stoked about cross this year. I'm even considering selling off the cx bikes and parts. I do however get excited of the thought of having hydraulic disc brakes on a cx bike but I think that will take some time to actually make it to production. Until then I'll still be riding the OG Sola (yeah the 26er...you know those wheels still work like they always have). It'll be easy to spot me....I'll be the guy riding through the leaves smiling.

2010 Interbike Report

No, I'm not at Interbike and even though I was planning on going, the trip won't be made. Yes, its cool to see the latest and greatest and meet the pros....but really....what is uber new?

Here are some predictions of what will be there:

1. Scantily clad shady ladies pushing the latest DH handlebars with built in MP3 capabilities
2. 90% of new bikes on the floor are made by Giant (Oh wait that's every year)
3. Booths upon endless booths of random Taiwan made bike accessories
4. Something made of Carbon (which is probably still made by Giant)
5. 29er everything including kids bikes

....and probably the most amazing thing all weekend will be:

How they keep that much grass that green in Vegas for Cross Vegas

Go Chris Jones!
