Where to begin.........

Here is a synopsis;

  • I wrecked my MTB three weeks ago (straight over the bars). My back has ached ever since and when I say "ached" I mean I couldn't bend without it hurting.
  • The next day I rode with Chicken Little, wrecked again...
  • Commuted to work (my back feels fine on the road).
  • B&L has been crazy busy.
  • My neighborhood was in a voluntary evacuation.
  • I've been house sitting in Vista which was also in voluntary evac.
  • The shop closed for two days because of the fires, plus Solana Beach was in mandatory evac.
  • My Dad and Step Mom are in town for the weekend.
  • Tomorrow is going to be another crazy Saturday...
My weekend includes working, dinner plans and my 6 year old nephews birthday. Busy.

I'll be back soon and fill you in with the stories... Like how my Dad doesn't know how to eat edamame.

Race #2 for the SoCal Cross series was yesterday. Brent took his 4th win of the season (2nd win for the series) in the Elite/ Pro category!

I finished his "A" bike on Friday so he was able to do a shakedown ride on Saturday and race it on Sunday. His "A" bike is an Alan Cross X. It's built with a mix of Miche, Campagnolo, Pro logo and Selcof. He is rolling on Challenge tubulars and clipped in with Crank Brothers 4ti eggbeaters.


It was a long day, what can I say...I'm a dork.

I just finished Brent's new Alan Cyclocross "B" bike.

He raced the first SoCal Cross race of the season and Won! The race was in Fullerton, according to other racers the couse was nice but covered in thick slow grass. That didn't stop BP.

Good Job Brent!
