Robin S. took a bunch of photos from several of the races. Robin C. did her first cross race.

All dressed up with nowhere to ride.

Well, another Raleigh Rainier is fitted up and ready to ride, just in time for Winter Blast '08. For now she just looks pretty nestled in a snow drift. -Dave

The Raleigh Rainiers have arrived!

The Raleigh Rainier singlespeed cyclocross frames just arrived. We missed most of the local cross season, but there are still a few races left. I hurried to get mine built up so I could ride it. It's one nice bike. The geometry is spot on and it rides FAST. White has been the new black for a little while but the full white bars, brakes post, stem, fork, etc. just fits on this bike. There's something about white out on a muddy cross course.

FSA post and bars, Kore brakes and levers. White Industries ENO hubs, Velocity rims, SRAM Force cranks, Fizik saddle.

Look for a posse of Bike Vigilantes all riding singlespeed on smokin white Rainiers at the races .
