Team Big Ring is an amazing group of people. I feel fortunate to be associated with such a diverse and talented group. Team rider Tommy Chandler not only won the last race of the UTCX he then put his considerable skills with a lens to work and shot this gorgeous clip of the Mens A and Masters A...USA Cycling Hates Cyclocross...

Remember the NORBA National Series? It was once a huge circus of MTB goodness that attracted the best racers from around the world. That is until USA Cycling got it’s mitts on it. Not content with ruining MTB Racing in this country it looks like the brain trust dead In Colorado Springs are looking to do the same with cyclocross. You see for USAC Cyclocross Nationals are nothing...

As I approach my 23rd season of racing you would think I would have my position pretty much dialed right? Well over the years of switching bikes, shoes, pedals and what not a lot of things sort of “migrated” and were assumed rather than measured and tested. Along with my new personal philosophy of trying to optimize everything I began to think about my bike fit. Especially...

In Utah Cyclocross we seem to have an abundance of flat crit style courses which are fun and provide some exciting racing. That said I am totally stoked to have the State Championships on a killer new course. The Mt Ogden Golf Course has tons of classic cross elements. Lots of grass, some pavement, technical descents and a leg breaking climb. Whoever wins on this course will truly be...

I slipped a pedal, lapper took my line, chain skipped….. On and on it goes. At the end of every cyclocross race the list of excuses is endless. In the end the place you got is the place you deserve.

On Wed evenings our resident outlaw Bo Pitkin will be doing...

Another ‘cross season has come and gone. Damn, seems like it was just yesterday I was gluing tubbies and waiting for the heat to break. Our little team definitely made a mark on the cyclocross scene both here in the 801 and on the National stage as well. What started as an idea with me and Krafty in the spring grew to something I could have never dared imagine. Big Ring went...

Forgive Us! Happy Friday The 13th Brothers and Sisters. If you recall the fine folks at Real Cyclist.com offered a sweet deal on a sweet bike if we could podium at the Boulder Cup. Well the forces of the small ring won that weekend and we did not deliver. Being the forgiving souls that they are, our pals at RealCyclist.com are giving you the faithful reader another shot at the...
