Moots Profiles
Matt has one big leg. What makes his big leg bigger than his regular leg is a titanium rod in his shin. You wouldn’t notice unless he pointed it out to you, but his right leg is a bit bigger than his left.
Even bigger than Matt’s right leg is his heart. A strong, honest soul, he’s one of those people that can disagree without hurting anyone’s feelings.

Every morning I sit at my desk picking at the emails that have sprouted overnight. My desk faces the open door of the sales floor, leading to the stairwell. Reliably, the third person to come upstairs every day is Caleb Franklin, lead finisher turned welder. Caleb is putting away his lunch for the day- which almost always includes cheese and crackers, and he’s followed by his ‘Short Tailed African Cougar Hound’ Luther –my favorite shop dog.

Dave and I share milk. He typically beats me to work by at least a couple of minutes, and is on his way to the coffee pot with a bag of Big Gear Grind by the time I lug my yawning self up the stairs.

It’s Tuesday and I feel a little off my game…..
Sorry for the lack of postings over the last couple of days, have been down with the crud that has swept through our little town. I feel I’m on the up swing and most of the Moots staff has pulled through in good fashion. Over the weekend as we hunkered down doing our best to fight off the nasties. I found myself living in my pj’s, Moot hoody and new Moots fleece head warmer. It’s the little things that make the difference. As we fought our way through sickness I took solace in the fact that somewhere (mainly Belgium) there were friends, family and fellow competitors doing what I love best…Cyclocross. Over the weekend the Masters Cyclocross World Championships were held in Mol, Belgium. I was fortunate enough to make the trip in January 2006 and compete in the sands that make up the beautiful course. This year many Moots bikes were in the same spot doing battle with our international brethren. A quick run down of Moots and some non-Moots riders goes like this:Will Black 6th (US) 1964-1968 age class Moots
Andie Mackie 4th US) Women 1959-1968 Moots/VeloBella
Mark Meacock (GB) 1959-1963 Moots
Greg Keller 28th (US)1969-1973 Rocky Mounts/Izzy
Word on the street is that the racing was extremely hard and fast. Looking through some of the other names in the results I can see why. Last names like Groeendaal, Vervecken and so on…yep; these guys have younger brothers that rule the elite fields in Europe.
For a really great account of the weeks action click over to: Mud and Cowbells. My friend Greg Keller does some great postings on all things cross.
This coming weekend is the big boy (Elite) Cyclocross Worlds being held in Treviso, Italy. I know I'll be watching the web for results!
More to come.
