In The Crosshairs

The Super Bowl Sunday Snowpocalypse PsychoCross D.C. Stage Race has come and gone.
Kevin Dillard of Demoncats.com was there to capture the mayhem. You can check out his galleries here.
According to Rez, here’s how the day’s festivities went down:
Stage 1 ended up being a downhill for distance race mostly. We raced the course afterward but [...]

Proteus Bikes’ Super Bowl of Singlespeed may have been pushed back a week but that does not mean there will be no cyclocross racing in the Nation’s Capital this Sunday. Tim Rugg (Battley Harley/Sonoma) and Justin “Rez” Resnick (District Velocity/The Bike Rack) are not going to let the forecasted 36 to 360 inches of snow [...]

Bicycle Dreams is a full length documentary that chronicles the 2005 Race Across America. As a chronicler of cyclocross racing, a decidedly shorter affair, I was a bit hesitant when the film’s director, Stephen Auerbach, asked if I wanted to review his film.
To hedge my bets, and ensure my ignorance about ultracycling events is kept [...]

Normally, I like to offer a little more in my posts than a reproduced press release, but this one is too good to pass up. I would book your hotel room today.

What you do before you start a race most likely will affect how you finish it. Here is an article I wrote for CXMagazine.com last year. It’s an off-the-cuff look at an important part of your race day, food. Originally published December 20th, 2008 here.
Like Ryan Trebon and Barry Wicks, I am six-foot-five-inches tall. Yet, [...]

Cyclocross promoters and racers for the most part get along fine. But every so often issues arise that have the two parties not seeing eye to eye. If you read the recent SpectaCross coverage posted on In The Crosshairs you are aware of one of those instances. It is far from my intent to have [...]

There is a little known provision in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requiring the Treasury Department to reimburse to all qualifying applicants up to $2000 of allowable costs for cycling-related improvements. Got that? The government will give you $2000 to help you be a better cyclist. Now this is stimulus spending you [...]

What’s my motivation?
It has been over a month since I posted anything new on this site. That was not my plan for the CX “off season.” I had hoped to get up some more interviews and really drill down into the gooey core of what makes cyclocross the sport we love. I could blame work [...]

I am in the process of putting together some great interviews from last week’s Cyclocross Nationals in Kansas City. While you wait for that, check out a tongue-in-cheek article I put together for Cyclocross Magazine. It features quotes from some of the past interviews put together for this site.
You can find it here.
