That's It...That's a Wrap...

I honestly don't know how I made it to the last day of the photoshoot. The previous days festivities...along with trying to be pretty, witty and creative all week had definitely left it's mark. I was tired, drained, possibly hallucinating and smelled like stale beer that had been spilled on gym clothes with a touch of shame lingering.

Undaunted, I awoke at 6 am (on a Sunday) ready to go. For the sake of time and efficiency I was still wearing my clothes from the night before. My french press still contained leftovers that helped kick start my saliva glands again. And a well placed Dick's burger in my fridge from the nite before helped me make the drive to our Mountain bike shoot. Where I took no pictures. But trust me...the new Talus mountain bikes look awesome!


Upon returning to town I did manage to get these 3 pictures of the new RX 1.0...the camera felt like an extension of my mind...




Once I heard the final shutter click...a feeling of relief fell over me. That was it.
I had run my PhotoShoot Marathon.
My IronMan of production days were over.
My South Padre Spring Break of late nites and early mornings was...well...at least slowing down. Because that afternoon was the main event of the West Side Invite and I was not going to miss it...

Does it still have BB30? I'm picking one up. My 10 year old Cannondale is worn out.

It sure does. And you're going to love it. The Rx is one of the bikes I'm most excited about in our lineup this year.

Chainstays still nice and short?

BF kemyooter said...

The frames stayed the same. Everything else is brand new and ready for premes, cowbells, barriers, and handups.

Josh "The Tech" said...

Yep, I'm sold. I lost out on my Rainer when I lost my job but I'm still gonna get me one of these sweet cross bikes when they become available.

BF kemyooter said...

Sorry to hear about the job & Rainier. I'll let ya in on a secret...early August is a good month to see if you can order one.
