So sitting here in a cafe in Boulder, drinking chai with Mindi and using the free wifi for a little bit, I finally got around to uploading the last photo I took from the 2009-10 season. Though I took the week off for a meeting, it’s hard not to think about racing and the upcoming season here in a town with so much bike culture and so many racers. We watched about 100 people ride up to the top of Flagstaff Mountain while we were hiking up it yesterday, and see tons of riders out on the roads everywhere we go.

I’m also thinking about racing because we head to meet with my new sponsors at Moots tomorrow, where we’ll check out their operations and pick up the bikes I’m going to race this year. I’ll have a new road and ‘cross bike to write about sometime soon.

Check back for updates on the US trip soon, the visit to Moots and the new bikes included. But for now, I leave you with a look back at the accumulated stuff of six months of racing. I was going to write a little essay about it, but I actually think the photo speaks for itself. Make sure you click through to the real Flickr photo for the whole story.
