2012 Cirque du Cyclisme

A few notes from the first day of the Cirque...

Earle Young's wheelbuilding class went well yesterday.

Lot's of nice bikes lining the hotel lobby. 

We owe a big thanks to MJ for her hard work!

Riding on the W&OD path:

A beautiful Chris Bishop randonee caught my eye, owned by Dan Artley.

Very classy light silver / dark silver paint job.

I have never seen this cool maple-leaf Marinoni engraving-cutouts before:
