I bought a set of Castelli bibs and jersey when Performance Bike was closing its retail stores. I bought XXL, which was ridiculously tight, when I was wearing XL in everything else comfortably - in fact Performance's XL jerseys fit really loosely. It wasn't till I'd lost about 30# that I could even get into them.
Back in '95, when I was at the Giro, we went to the Bianchi store attached to the factory. (The day's stage finished there.) Tried on a pair of XL shorts when I was easily wearing L from the states. Darn near cut off my circulation.

The label said it was made in Hungary, which I thought was ironic, I would have to be seriously hungry to fit in it.

Castelli is trying to tell us we're too fat for this sport.

When that happens to me, I find that I started it and forgot.

National CX Championships in Milwaukee in 1989. I was severely "humbled" according to my training diary.

Leading up to Nationals, I broke an ALAN and a Cinellii CX bike. Both had buckled at the head tube. My shop grabbed this old 49cm Trek 420 and braised on cantilever studs for the mud. I only raced it a couple times prior to Nationals but it really was a sweet little CX machine. We installed an original Shimano 600 indexed 6 speed rear derailleur and a single 46T chainring up front. It had Vittoria tubular CX tires.

I had heard DC life was fast paced, but man those people walk fast.
