CX Worlds in Koksijde is a big deal. Like the fucking Super Bowl or something. Next year, it will be held here in the US, in Louisville, a 90 minute drive from my house. Post race, they made a big deal of passing the UCI flag over to the US. I saw these pictures on [...]
Handing the UCI flag over to the US
Happy Birthday KFC!
November. Rain, mud, clouds.
Cyclocross season. Mine ended. I am over it. Apparently, Georgia Gould’s season is over too. Katie is fucking killing it though. The Cincinnati UCI3 CX pictures are up, and Jeffrey is really good at getting some funny shots. This one made me laugh out loud. Speaking of CX…. It looks as though Louisville ‘Cross Worlds [...]
Some Cows…
This past Halloween, I did not party like in years past, mostly because I don’t really know anyone here in Colorado Springs to party with. In lieu of drunken debauchery, I went to a Halloween criterium put on by the Women’s Mountain Biking Association of Colorado Springs, and I’ll tell ya, I had a damn [...]

I have never done this race or even ridden the entire route, but from what I can tell, it is no joke. Endless climbs, screaming fast descents, dizzying altitude, prime alpine singletrack [...]

Big Jonny sent me an e-mail
Big Jonny sent me an email the other day. It was simply titled “For Dirty” and contained nothing but a link. He is a good guy that Jonny, a good guy indeed.
BMX girls are hot.
Fast forward past the 2 minute mark to get to the good stuff. Why in the hell they have to show them eating breakfast and getting their hair cut is beyond me. Best of: 2:35, 3:02, 3:17, 3:43, 3:59, 4:03 and 4:23 are fucking rad, and 4:47.
Hand-ups and Beatdowns at Whiskey 50
I spent yesterday morning on course at the Whiskey bouncing between aid stations with a bottle of Jim Beam and a camera. This is what I came up with:
