Narrative:

Departing runway 25 in denver; doing a HUD takeoff. Focus on HUD information and when crosschecked airspeed at 60 knots; noticed lack of airspeed. Aborted takeoff and pulled off the runway. Notified tower and passengers as to the nature of the situation. Called dispatch and maintenance. Told by maintenance to pull and reset the a/south circuit breaker which solved the problem. Checked brake cooling time; we were surprised to find a requirement for 47 minutes cooling time which we did accomplish prior to takeoff. The point I want to make is that; regardless of the temperature and conditions at the airport; always check for brake cooling before takeoff. You may be in for a rude surprise if you don't.
