30 Days…
For me it is going to be a bit longer, but for you it is 30 days until ‘cross season starts.
To prepare for my 12 race campaign of terror I have a few things to do:
1. Get my bottom bracket looked at. It keeps making this grinding noise that translates to “Jeff not going as fast”
2. Bring my car for a tune up. The VW is having problems kicking it in the morning. Hope it is a battery & not the starter
3. New shoes. The old Specialized’s which I’ve had for 2 years now are starting to fall apart. I may try to sew ‘em back up since I hate shoe shopping.
Update:
1. For $35 my bottom bracket has been replaced. I opted against the $200+ ceramic bb.
2. New battery installed.
3. Keeping the old shoes for one more season
1. easy
2. good luck – hope it is the least expensive fix
3. Sidis (what size are your shoes again?)

You should consider making the trip to Louisville, KY for the USGP event at the end of October. It is only a 5 hour drive and you get to race and see the big boys of the national cross scene fight it out.

You can come with Zach and I to Burlington KY in 22 days!

I am so excited to get the season underway. Don’t buy expensive shoes for cross because the stiff soles get ruined as soon as you start jumping and running in them. I have discovered this the hard($) way. I now will use my this seasons mtb shoes and get new mtb shoes next season.
