Here's something interesting I've never thought of before -- in Minnesota when there's several feet of snow on the ground, they race cross indoors on an indoor soccer field:
I'd love to see some Oregon cross races in January and February. Perhaps taking them indoors is the answer.
And don't say true crossers should just suck it up and handle the weather, even Sven Nys races cross indoors.
The Buy Local Cycling team is happy to welcome Ruckus Components as a sponsor in our efforts. Ruckus Components is based in Portland, Oregon and exemplifies the Buy Local spirit by hand laying custom carbon cyclocross, mountain bike, and commuter components in their SE Portland workshop. Ruckus also does custom carbon frame and wheel repairs as well as developing prototype frames.
When we started the Buy Local team, companies like Ruckus Components were exactly who we had in mind to help promote to wider audiences -- small, local businesses producing high quality components by hand. Like the carbon bashguard seen on my cross bike, you may see a variety of Ruckus Components appear on Buy Local riders team bikes in 2010 and beyond.
Designed and manufactured in North Plains, Oregon.
