A bit of sickness plus work kept me from joining in on the weekly CX training race, so I decided to try out shooting action shots with a flash. I also had my camera on the HDR function for the first few shots, hence the ghosting. It’s either that or just the effect of our…

NOLA to Nats: Part 3
With one day of racing in the books, we had to a chance to get out and explore a bit of Boulder by bike. Since my race season had officially ended, I was going to attempt to stick to base miles, but when you come from Swampy-Flatsville and there is a chance to go climb…
NOLA to Nationals: Part 2
Waking up to snow dusted foothills and fresh mountain air definitely put a spring in our step on Tuesday as we went about getting everything together for the following busy race day. I was in search of some new tires as conditions looked to be either snowy or muddy, but certainly not dry. After a full…
NOLA To Nationals: Part 1
Or, “From Bayou to Boulder”. Yeah, cyclocross is that addicting. After a year of firsts (century, road race, shorn legs, helmet smash, see-clio-cross), I decided to hitch a ride with Wes and Rob and head to the hills for the USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals. Fresh off winning the #noob category of the Delta States Grand Prix…
DSGP – The Final Showdown
District Championships for the Delta States Grand Prix of Cyclocross will take place this Saturday, December 14, in Natchez, MS. Believe me when I say that this will be one of the most action packed, tension loaded, party prone weekends of the year. For nine weeks, the local hardmen/ladies of Louisiana and Mississippi have been…
DSGP Race No. 4 // Monroe, LA // Results + Recap
In a display of perfect cyclocross weather, Saturday’s temperatures plummeted into the low 40’s, and rain fell steadily, beginning the night before the race. Winds picked up along the heavily exposed riverside course. The sandy soil of the levee was soaked and the turf left a bit slick. Needless to say, the inclement weather, paired…
Guest Gallery: Tyler Heath’s Photos From DSGP #1 – New Orleans
Tyler Heath, the nicest dude I know, was resting up from a cycling injury and wasn’t able to race the inaugural DSGP in City Park. Bummer for him, but lucky for us, as he shot some great video (more of that later) and wonderful photos. Since stop #4 of the Delta States Grand Prix is…
Providence Hill Extras
Rich and I arrived in Jackson the night before the race to help Wes, Chris, Matt and Andrew set up the course. Well, I’m not sure how much I actually “helped” but I did snap a few photos while the light was nice. Such a beautiful location. Don’t forget to pre-reg for Monroe! Keep Spinnin’…
DSGP Race No. 3 // Jackson, MS // Results + Recap
Providence Hill Farm, situated in the gently rolling hills outside of Jackson, provided the most scenic race location thus far in the DSGP. Skies were overcast, and in a shocking development at this latitude, temperatures approached cold as riders took to the course for warm ups. But for the spongy grass and soft earth it…
DSGP Race No. 1 // New Orleans // Results + Recap
Late Friday night, the finishing touches were put on the cyclocross course that Rouler Racing and Semi-Tough Cycling Club had been building since summer on the abandoned golf course in City Park. With great pride, 1.7 miles of swampy chicanery, off-camber turns, mud, sand, and grass was rolled out to be rolled on. Astounding numbers…
