To Merckx, Kelly, and Plankaert for showing us the way,
the smell of embrocation and massage and the end of the day
The cobbled climbs of Flanders and mighty Cols of France,
and even the fixie hipsters who wear their sisters pants
Be thankful for your rivals and faithful domestiques,
they give us motivation on the lofty peaks
May dopers never prosper and wheelsuckers never win,
be true...

Yeah, yeah, say what you will about nationals not being for another month, and that true cross can only happen in cold and shitty weather, but we’re capping of two straight months of...

Once again the guys over at Sacramento CX put on a great Cross event. Discovery park located in the shadows of downtown, where the Sac and American rivers meet, is the beginning of the American river bike path. The one cross venue in this series that I have seen before, and have dreaded since seeing it on the calender. Basically the whole place is a giant lawn, no fire roads or...
Race Report: Missoula MT...
Here it goes ladies and gents, boys and girls, another cross race up in the Big Sky for me to report on. We’ll start with Saturday afternoon, where ten members of “the mangy crew” met up for a group mountain bike ride. Ten guys, all on 29ers, all with different sounding rear wheels, and some great singletrack made for a phenomenal three hours in the saddle. The ride finished...Fence Sitting...

This past Sunday saw the AZ ‘Cross Series return to Payson for race number 5. I arrived at the race venue early in order to help set up and as a result, I got my entry fee covered. The course incorporated sections of the course that was used for race number one as well as a ton of new stuff. The new sections included a 4 stair run up and some very tight, twisty turns through...Big Ring Week of 11/17...
