Today we look at Georgia Gould’s Boo Bicycles RS-X bamboo/carbon fiber cyclo-cross bike. Just like every other Boo, Georgia’s RS-X was handcrafted by James Wolf in Vietnam before it was sent to BOO HQ here in Fort Collins to be assembled. An now, that assembly is done by Dusty Labarr, Georgia Gould’s husband.  After the birth of their daughter this summer, Georgia and Dusty dialed way back on the racing and wrenching with the pro mountain bike and cyclo-cross circuits.  For now, Georgia is concentrating on being a mom, and racing locally when she feels like it.  Dusty is in charge of operations at Boo HQ.  Georgia raced 7 times in 2017 with 2 podiums, a 1st at Cross of the North and a 3rd at Cyclo X Valmont.

His title sponsorship of that team continues nearly 25 years later and has catapulted riders like Tejay van Garderen, Chad Haga and Mara Abbot into the World Tour. In addition to the elite road team, Pat has advertised on YGR since 2009 (my second…
