Friends in Left Places

October Hand Made, and me personally, had the wonderful pleasure of a shop visit by friend, cyclist, good guy, and supporter Mike P. I've known Mike for a long, long time, but as he's been in beautiful San Francisco for many years, the hang-outs are too infrequent. This was a pretty special deal... Mike made a post on his team site, reflecting on his visit, hassling some of the October Factory Team members, and something about pizza must be in there! Enjoy it here.

Local Press for October Hand Made!!!

The Daily Item of Lynn did a story recently about October Hand Made Bikes! A big thank you to Meaghan Casey for coming by and doing a nice job with the story. We also are extremely grateful and excited to be supported by the Economic Development and Industrial Corporation of Lynn. A great group of people who believe in small businesses, Lynn, and creating opportunities for folks like us.

October in CX Magazine!

Dear friend, October supporter, and soon-to-be October cross bike owner (who will be tearing up the Seattle CX scene this fall) Eric K. just informed me there is a little bit of October love in the new CX Magazine! A few shots of the custom October ti/carbon cross bike from NAHBS, Indy.

Huge thanks to the crew at CX Magazine and for all of our supporters! We love doing this!!!

New England heatwave

Yup, Fat Tire was a hot one. And just like everyone else, Kate and I took it out too fast and ended up in the hurt box. The first 30 seconds should have been an indicator:

Kate: aw yeah!
Me: I think I’m going to throw up.

We were obviously way too excited about our fantastic new kits! [cyclingdirt.org]

Huge thanks to Dana for the fantastic kit design and to Colin's parents for handing me much needed water during the race!
