Limited edition. Only 3 (three) available. 2 larges, 1 medium. Grey or black/ Heres the deal, while on my annual post-xmas returning gifts  celebration, I came across these Dickie Jackets on sale for super cheap. Well… cheap enough for me to grab what I could. They are mechanic’s jackets. Lined, but not too heavy. Perfect spring/fall jackets. Two front pockets, plus a shoulder pen pocket (makes it legit). Grey or Black. Ok. First three people email me gets ‘em. Vote for one of the designs above. Most-picked design wins. I’ll send out winning design (I gotta make sure they work on gray/blk) and make sure you’re still in. Prices are rough, but account for the jacket, screen-printing on the back and shipping.  If you want one, and I’ve already got three bidders,  run to Target and get one, send it to me. Pay your own shipping. Holler, these will go fast: fpa@crossniacs.com  -me 

Hey all, if you wanna fly the Crossniacs colors for the entire year…that’s road, DH, XC, short track, etc…how many of you are willing to go in on a 3rd order?

Post a reply here or e-mail Jared Roy and we can go from there.

Stay warm, enjoy the holidays and HTFU.

Most people idolize rock stars, professional football, basketball, baseball players, etc.

For those who live for cyclocross - fellow crossniacs, our hero is Jonathan Page. In our opinion, one of the best cyclocross racers in the world that has made the true commitment to racing cross and spends most of the cross season in Belgium, because that is where cyclocross is raced for “real”. Even though he and family admit that they are not all that fond of living in gray, rainy Belgium, that is where they need to be to be committed to cyclocross at the world’s level.

We had a great dinner prepared by the best chef in town, MikeyP at the Craftsman and talked about life in Belgium, raising a family and being a bike racer, the Natz scuffle, and US vs. European racing. Jonathan, Cori and the 2 kids are so down-to-earth and genuinely friendly that it was just like being with old friends, even though most of us crossniacs were in awe of his presence.

It was a great way to end the cross season. Going to Nationals and then having dinner with Page and family is going to be hard to top for 2009.

Thanks Jonathan, Cori and family for taking the time out of your busy schedule and good luck for the rest of the season. The crossniacs will be cheering you on.
