New paint for my DeSalvo Ti Cross bike

This past summer I decided to get my DeSalvo Ti cross bike rebuilt and repainted. Thanks to the awesome work of Ruckus Components (did the fender mounts on the Edge carbon forks), Spatter Bikes (designed and shot the paint), Bertram Pinstriping (for the hand laid white lines), and Mike at DeSalvo Cycles for sending out some new stickers and supporting our team!

Heiser Farms Cyclocross coming October 8th as part of GPMC

Hose-off area for cleanup

We've just uploaded our flyer for this year's Heiser Farms Cyclocross race near Dayton, Oregon. It is stop number 3 on the GPMC series and features a longtime favorite up/down/out/& about course around Heiser Farms. As always, in addition to the awesome racing action, there will be food, drink, corn mazes, and pumpkins for sale on the farm and fun to be had for the whole family at their Brews, Brauts and Bluegrass Festival.

For those riders that run more than a few feet between barriers, the day after the race there is a 5k cross country event along the same course

Come out and enjoy one of the best cyclocross courses in Oregon at Heiser, and register for the event online at OBRA.
