Adam K., j'accuse


Few things galvanize a cyclist's shattered confidence like breaking the chain on a little kid's Huffy.

Hold it...nevermind.

As most people know, victory eluded me at this past weekend's Colavita pre-cross season party when the components of a $5 purple bike (frame size 22 cm?) failed under the sheer strength of my legs. Or a chain that started sprouting rust during the height of the Lewinsky Scandal.

Whichever the case, Adam K.'s well-planned and well-attended party was a great way to start a cross season that has more questions preceding it than answers.

Am I in any kind of shape to race from doing a lot of commuting and not a whole lot else?

Will a long hiatus from racing set me up for embarrassment when races start?

Will sudden weight loss from unknown causes help me or hurt me?

We find out a week from this Sunday.
