In The Crosshairs

The final race in the BikeReg.com MABRAcross series takes place this Sunday in Taneytown, Md. The MABRAcross Championship race, also know as The Turkey Chase, is historically a sloppy affair with muddy conditions being the rule rather than the exception. The course is fairly straightforward with some tricky off-camber sections and one short run-up. Thanks [...]

The third race in the MABRAcross Tandem-Cross series took place Sunday, November 1, at Rockburn Cross. Current tandem-cross series leaders Padam (Adventures for the Cure) had their first serious challenge as the Connolly-Shiao (KBS/LSV) and Bauer-DKeg (SSO) teams were right on their heels the whole way. For the video we have Single Speed Outlaw’s Todd [...]

We caught up with several podium finishers at Saturday’s Schooley Mill Cross race to get their thoughts on the course and how the day played out. The idea in putting together these interviews was to give you a video version of what we used to do every week on this site: seek out the podium [...]

Rockburn Cross, day 2 of the Howard County Double Cross and race #9 in the BikeReg.com MABRAcross series, takes place Sunday, November 21. Twists, turns, ups and downs make Rockburn a favorite for many cyclocrossers in the Mid-Atlantic. Although there may be a different turn here and there, the word I get from the race [...]

Schooley Mill, the first race in the Howard County Double Cross weekend,  takes place Saturday November 20 in Highland, Md. In its second year, the Schooley Mill “Steeple Chase” is an opportunity for the diesels to get their groove on. Last year’s course had nice long power sections but also a good deal of ridable [...]

Throw in 12 other tandems including ones piloted by tigger and piglet and a gorilla chasing a banana and you got [...]

Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space. We have a bit of a science project for you today. This is the masters 3/4 race from Tacchino Ciclocross, which took place November 7 at Rosaryville State Park in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The video combines the helmet-cam footage and rear-facing seat-stay cam footage with a little [...]

Tacchino Ciclocross takes place November 7 at Rosaryville State Park. Before we get into the course preview, the most important thing you need to do for Sunday is change your clock. That’s right an extra hour of sleep for all you racers out there. But don’t get cocky with it. You still need to give [...]

All Hallows Cross went down October 30 at Oak Ridge Park in Hughesville, Md. The park features two equestrian rings, which gave the MABRAcross ridership the biggest sand pits they will see this year. In 2009, this course was one for the power set. This year, organizing club Pax Velo mixed it up a bit. [...]

All Hallows Cross took place October 30 at the Oak Ridge equestrian park in Hughesville, Md. Racers were treated to two long sand crossings through horse show rings, a trip through an abandoned barn and a fun single-track ascent. Instead of showing you the same backs of the same riders, we handed off the helmet-cam [...]
