Cyclocross

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I think it’s great that cyclocross has really taken off in the USA over the past few years. It’s brought more riders into the sport, it’s prompted development in the industry and it’s added excitement to all levels of cycling But what was it that really set the sport off? Did the participant level reach a critical mass that caused an explosion in the awareness of this aspect of cycling? Was it something the industry did? (from my perspective it seems like the industry was late getting on the bandwagon) Was it the internet that raised the awareness of the popularity of the sport in Europe in the American market? Is there one single thing that brought cross to the mainstream of cycling or was there a convergence of small things that did it?

Fridays

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I have been taking care of Toddler Smithers on Fridays over the past two years. Mrs. Smithers maternity leave is over and she is now back to work so I am taking care of two kids under two years old on Fridays.
This is the second Friday of running solo. I go back and forth between thinking that this is a piece of cake and thinking that it is an impossible task.
I wonder what the kids think?
