Results from the October 12th Bicycle Sport Shop Dirt Derby are up. It was a good night, the course was great, thanks for coming if you were there and you should’ve been there if you weren’t.

But enough brevity! What are your plans for the weekend? Here’s what I’m going to do:

1) Start out my weekend with some awesome deals at the Bicycle Sport Shop Garage Sale. It’s massive, and the deals are off the 10-speed chain. Some of the sales going on here are the things that you’ll hear about months later when you ask someone where they got the cash for those awesome wheels and they’ll tell you they got them at the BSS garage sale for cheap. I got seasonal Christmas Gu at a great deal at a spring one because it wasn’t Christmas, but mint chocolate is always in season. It made me really happy.

2) With discounted goods in hand, I’m going to continue my weekend by hitting up the Texas Custom Bike Show on Saturday or Sunday.  You may have heard Elliot from Austin on Two Wheels repping it on the mic tonight, as he’s the guy behind Violet Crown Bicycles and will be showing his frames there. Our good friends at True Fabrication will be there as will a bunch of local framebuilders and companies that sell custom bike-related goods. There’s a cyclocross race going Sunday as part of it, so you can get in a day of racing and then stop by the exhibits. I plan on sipping my mint chocolate Gu ponderously as I consider going full custom for my eventual touring bike.

3) Race my cross bike at the cross races going on this weekend. The Alchemy Bikes Cross Race and Texas Framebuilders Classic will both be witness to my lack of cyclocross skills. I’d improve them with the Source Endurance Skills ‘Stravaganza (or a Cross Clinic, whichever you prefer) beforehand, but I’ll be working.

It’ll be a great weekend filled with cycling deals, LT thresholds, and cycling eye-candy (check out that Violet Crown Bicycles detail shot; sexy). Now everyone knows what sort’ve life I lead outside of the Bicycle Sport Shop Dirt Derby,
