I have no idea what Joseph did with this one but I see some CBNC in there.

Here’s a teaser for the upcoming King of Colfax race in Denver.

I’ve yet to make it out to the Stuporbowl and once again, I’ll have to say “next time”. You guys have fun!

I really would like to make it out to this event. Fixed Days Berlin is coming! Plan accordingly. Keep in touch via the Fixed Days Berlin Facebook.

Photos by Brian Vernor

No one shoots cross quite like Brian Vernor and here’s why. These four photos all show tricks of the trade that professional cyclists used this past weekend at the 2013 USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals. From driving sheet metal screws into their shows, glueing sand on tires, extra low PSI and even, good old fashioned fire to keep warm, these photos capture the conditions of the race, without even showing the course. Loving this!

See the rest at Bicycling.

The more I read about the Almanzo 100, the more I really want to ride in it (fuck it, we’re doing the Royal 162). I’ll be sending out my information this week and I suggest you do the same. Jeff Frane, Kyle and Ty, I’m looking at you!

Check out more photos here, the video here and get pumped.

David Trimble’s Red Hook Crit is undergoing some slight changes. For 2013, there will be a new qualifying format in place. Check out the new rules below.

Last weekend was the Texas State Cyclocross Championships. I headed out with my Hasselblad and my Leica to shoot some photos. While I’m in the midst of scanning everything, here’s a shot of Chris Lee, post-wreck. His bars got clipped, on a fast downhill section, sending them sideways and Chris, over the bars onto his chest. He sat there, catching his breath and moments later, his tube exploded from the popped bead. Luckily, the dude is ok.

More photos to come.

For many of you, cross season is now over and for other’s, there’s maybe one or two events before Louisville. I just wanted to say congrats to all my friends who had stellar performances this year. The Mudfoot team really kicked ass in SoCal and I can only wish them the best of luck next season. Here’s to getting off on the right foot.

This just in from the Red Hook Crit:

“The Red Hook Criterium is proud to announce the introduction of a cohesive championship series which will take place over four rounds. Points will be accumulated throughout the season to award the first Red Hook Criterium World Champion. The first round will take place on March 30th in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Additional race dates, venues, and cities will be announced shortly.

In addition we will be introducing a new qualifying format, a constructors/team cup, and an expanded prize list. We are also increasing our focus on the 5k running race with a two race series, the men and women’s fields held separately, and USATF certified courses.”

I always love Duraath‘s projects, especially the track bike videos. Last week, he and Wightset organized a 22km drag race from the heart of Johor Bahru to the center city of Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya.

The 2013 Cycle Messenger World Championship is coming! This year the city of Lausanne, Switzerland will be hosting. Check out more information here! I really wish I could make it out this year.

The Bandit Cross series has been Jeff from All-City‘s baby and here’s a great video showing all of us what it’s all about.
