How hard would it be to convert my old Trek 1000 road bike to a cyclocross bike?? Can I just slap on some cross tires or would they even fit?

yes and no. the clearance is not enough for most road tires. I have some really skiny cross tires on an old Bianchi road bike that work for my cross/fixie they are "Ritchey speed max cross" so you could try those. many that want to try cyclocross use a mountain bike the first time. by all means give something a shot.

from Bend...home of the 2010 national cross championships

I broke in here and feel like I'm trespassing in an old house I used to live in. Kind of creepy and cool at the same time. All of our old memories live here!
