The title of this post comes from an email someone just sent over that ended with “Have a great weekend in your new LA backyard!” I felt it was a good segue into some photos I shot today with my buddy Hans up in the Verdugo mountains, just a 20 minute pedal from my front door.
Weekends are great like that. Hope you’re taking advantage of the short days.
Oh man, Oregon knows how to throw a ‘cross race!

This past January, I flew from balmy Vancouver BC to a surprisingly frigid Austin TX to hang out at the US Cyclocross National Championships. The trip itinerary included meeting friends from the internet, watching some racing (the ones that didn’t get cancelled), and most importantly, racing John’s Crash Nationals Race. Unsanctioned “Bandit Cross” style races were new to me at this point in time and I didn’t really know what to expect…
Maybe there’s a reason ‘cross is so big in Portland…
’tis the season for some ‘cross footage!
With a 31mm depth, an external rim width of 28mm and an internal rim width of 21mm, it’s obvious ENVE wanted to make a cyclocross-specific wheelset for dedicated ‘cross athletes. Available as tubular-only, these made in the USA carbon wheels were designed specifically for the weekend races and are available in a variety of hub, freewheel and axle specifications. Head over to ENVE for more information.

Portland knows how to do two things: party and throw races, but when they mix the two as it often goes, it becomes quite the spectacle. Dylan VanWeelden was there, capturing all the ruckus and it’s not to be missed. Head over to Dylan’s Flickr to see more!
River City Bicycles from Portland takes another look at the recent Cross Crusade in Cascade Locks. I don’t know about you, but I love these videos!

For 2015, Team Richard Sachs got together with House Industries once again to design the palette for their bikes. This year’s colors are more subdued, hitting notes of silver, yellows, green and black. Along with their newly-designed team skinsuits, these bikes will continue to rip courses apart throughout the Northeast this season. Check out detailed photos below and be sure to stay in tune with all things ATMO at Richard Sachs Cyclocross.
Check out more information at the event’s Facebook page.
River City Bicycles made a video showcasing the latest Cross Crusade race at Alpenrose. If you’ve never been to one of these races, you really should check one out at some point. Total ‘cross Mecca.
‘Cross is in full swing and that means tons of videos are coming in through the site. I enjoyed seeing our homies at King Kog rip Gloucester!
Cycleast, PHENOM Cycle Club and All-City are running Urbocross in Austin this year, with one race and one race only this coming Wednesday, September 30th at 5:30pm. Meet up at Cycleast to roll at 6:00pm to an undisclosed location.
The race is free, with equal prizes for men and women’s podium, plus a raffle for all participants so you don’t have to win to win.
There’s a bigger story to be told here, about one cyclist’s journey into photography and chasing life-long dreams. For now, here’s all I can share…
Our buddy Brian Vernor is taking his first stab at the legendary Three Peaks Cyclocross race over in the UK this Sunday. For more follow @vernor and stay close for something bigger from Brian about his connection to this event.

… well some of it anyway.
I’m back in Austin for a few days, tying up loose ends before hauling everything to Los Angeles. So bear with me if it seems quiet over here.
Manual for Speed has delivered the most comprehensive and fun recap from Cross Vegas to ever exist on the internet. To read a slightly cynical, yet honest review of the race, see lots and lots of photos and really dive into the event, head first, head over to Manual for Speed.
Kaiju and killer cross courses reign over this new promo video for Stoemper and Ben Berden’s 2015 season.
So. Many. Cyclocross bikes! Loving this short video from River City and Foundry!
