cobbled

Not cx per se, but a good picture nonetheless--from the Pez interview with Graham Watson, which is worth checking out for some other legendary shots. I think this is from Gent-Wevelgem. You can see why there is a cx - Belgian connection, since this is how they were used to handling their bikes even when it wasn't offroad and muddy.


One of our major disappointments with the Westminster/Wolseley sidewalk rejuvination project this summer (aside from the fact that it's just generally lame), is the disappearance of the cobbles (at least that's what we called them) on the sidewalk by the Tall Grass bakery. Little M loved bouncing through them, especially the sound her training wheels made as they rolled over the cracks. Always put a huge smile on her face. I guess we'll have to do laps on the patio of the new bookstore & cafe, which is finally open and looking great.
