In The Crosshairs

After the success of last year’s Bicycle Film Festival short film based on The Bilenky Junkyard Cross, it was a bit surreal going back for this year’s race. But once we got there, it was the same junkyard, a different course and a whole lot more people. This edition was nuts. Jam packed with racers [...]

The Second Annual Luray Caverns CX took place December 11 in Luray, Virginia. A beautiful venue, challenging course and outstanding weather made this a great day of cyclocross. If you finished your ‘cross season last weekend, you made a mistake. This event is definitely the way to go out if you’re not doing nationals. Not [...]

About this time last year I went up to Philadelphia to play around with my new video camera at the Bilenky Junkyard Cross, a holiday party masquerading as a cross race or vice versa. This event is nuts and if you have the time, you should definitely check it out. The course winds its way [...]

Capital Cross Classic goes down this Sunday in Reston, Virginia. It’s the finale of the BikeReg.com MABRAcross Super 8 series and a race not to be missed. This venue has been hosting cross races for well over a decade and sets up awesome for a fun yet challenging event. Unless something drastic happens between now [...]

The 2011 Rockburn Cross took place this past Sunday in Elkridge, Maryland. Full fields, sunny skies and Howard County Parks & Recreation’s first beer garden highlighted a day of racing on a demanding course. The sand was fun, the single-track is always a blast, and a new run-up let the superior bike handlers show their [...]

This Sunday is Rockburn Cross, race #7 in the MABRAcross Super 8 Cyclocross Series, and the Mid-Atlantic mountain bikers’ favorite course. Rockburn is known for its long single-track stretches and punchy terrain. Word has it that the Adventures for the Cure crew is going to plot out the course a little different than in the [...]

NCVC broke the mold and started from scratch on this year’s edition of Ed Sander Memorial Cyclocross. A bold move, especially when you have one of the longest running and most popular cyclocross events in the Mid-Atlantic. I’m sure there were those that raced who missed the long gravel stretches but they were few and [...]

Ed Sander Memorial Cyclocross presented by NCVC is one of the oldest cyclocross events in the Mid-Atlantic. The course has changed here and there over the years but nothing like what riders showing up for race #5 in the BikeReg.com MABRAcross Super 8 Series will experience this Sunday. Gone are the long gravel drag strips [...]

Every race in the MABRAcross Super 8 is breaking all kinds of attendance records this year. But DCCX is just getting ridiculous. The 2011 edition saw more than 800 pre-registered riders and over 900 on race day. Once again, the men and women of DCMTB served up a beautiful summer weather, in late autumn, and [...]
