Do They Make Tire Chains for Cross Bikes?

Drove to Denver for a meeting this morning.  Not a big deal, which was surprising.  Hearing all these accounts (and seeing pictures) of locations in the foothills picking up 20, 30, even 40 inches of snow over the past couple days had me a little sketched.

Either CDOT has done an excellent job, or the I-70 corridor did not bear the brunt of the snowstorm, because it took me 15 minutes longer than usual to get to Denver, and only 10 minutes longer than the norm to get back.  Seriously - roads were snowpacked for almost a third of the drive, but it really wasn't that bad.  In fact, it was absolutely beautiful this morning driving over Vail Pass; dangerously snapped photo while driving here.

'Cross races this weekend, however, are a different story.  Blue Sky Velo race at Xilinx in Longmont on Saturday, and Boulder Cup / UCI race at Boulder Reservoir on Sunday.  Both courses are abso-frickin-lutely BURIED.  And it's cold - see pic to the right.  And still snowing.  My inclination is to bail on CX this weekend.  I don't really revel in the thought of travel and spending money on entry fees to go run through snow.  Because...

We haven't seen a FLAKE up here on the ground.  Somehow, Eagle has managed to dodge the bullet.  Local rumblings say the trails are in absolutely perfect condition.  Elgee (addictedtobicycles.blogspot.com) has been out in the past couple days, and I'm getting jealous.  I'm heading out on the mountain bike this weekend, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

This may be one of the last weekends to do so - GO RIDE!
