I somehow rarely seem to find any bike related items at the thrift store. I find a jersey every once in a while, i once found a pair of bib shorts, but that’s about it. today, however, i looked up and there it was staring me right in the face. the 1965 cyclocross worlds poster! it’s certainly not the rarest cycling print, i even have it as an avatar somewhere or other, but to find it in a thrift store was pretty suprising still. The best part is that not only is it brand new and still in the protective plastic, but it is framed and matted. i’m stoked.

so due to moving house and not having an internet connection for 2 months, it’s been a while since my last post. here’s a quick lowdown on what’s happened.

1. Eva and I moved to the Bay Area.

2. Eva got a job the day after we moved up here. TCB!

3. We went on a 5 day road trip upto the redwoods in real NorCal. Went hiking, did a jaunt on our cyclocross bikes and got scared by a herd of elk and made tasty food on a fire.

4. I found out that it’s possible to get groceries by bike, even when you live in the ‘burbs, but it’s easier with a crate than in a bag.

5. I earned my chip as a vegan baker by making croissantes. They were as amazing as they sound. (and look:)

6. Did my first cyclocross race of the season, the dfl #2 race. I was heckled by other competitors and i lost my chain for the first time since running a single ring with a jump stop. There was someone playing punk 45s on a portable turntable in amognst all the dirt. Brian Welton (visiting from philly) predicted the records were all 1st pressings of first releases. Dont give a shit!
