Cyclocross and more cyclocross- whats new. I started yesterday trying to round up the troops for some cyclocross practice. I managed to get 5 people (including myself) but 3 had the last name (once again including myself) to come to Broadview yesterday. But considering I only started talking about it the day before I didn't expect too many. Either way, the park seems a little less crowded on Thursdays this year, so we are making the practice open to all- and by open to all, I mean everyone who is stuck reading this and not this gypsy magic!
So here are the details: Starts HERE. We ride around the soccer kids until we get tired of looking at them, then go ride around another field. We have a nice loop in the woods and also 4 barriers available. We usually play follow the leader for a lap or two, and can easily make a 7 or 8 minute lap there. 
Next Thursday we'll start 6. There might be something resembling an actual course because Szabo and I are getting there early and there will be no school practices/games yet. It'll be fun. Be there or be square.
I also put myself pretty deep in debt this year buying goodies for cyclocross season. I still have one frame/fork left that is the SAME BIKE TONY MARUT RIDES! That means it has the capability to fast.
I am trying to sell it local because I only expect $200 for the frame/fork. It seems like a hassle to use eBay when shipping will be a 1/5 of the total cost.
It is a 54cm frame, so anyone who uses a 54-56 road bike would fit well on this. I realized I probably have enough parts to build this up to sell also, if need be. So, for maybe $400 I could put some used Rival with FSA cranks on there along with an ITM handlebar. I could do everything (including tires/tubes) besides actual wheels/cassette/pedals. You could choose between a single or double chainring setup, too, along with options for brakes/seatpost/stem. Perfect starter setup, or pit bike. Email me for more at rob dot sroka at gmail dot com.

I've been trying to get my grimy little hands on a pair of the new Challenge Limus tires. After Quality sold out two weeks ago, CyclocrossWorld.com had a huge advertisement for the tires on their home page. They of course did not have them available. So I fixed the add for them. 
To show my displeasure with Challenge, I went ahead and spent $65 more on another brands' tires. Whoops.
