With the Delta States Gran Prix on hiatus for a week, it was a perfect opportunity to travel out of the region for some ‘cross action, specifically BCRCX and Give Me Some Sugar CX. Wes McWhorter had penciled in this weekend as part of his CX Nats #pointscampaign (trying to get his upgrade from a…

SWAMPLOCROSS!
CX is now. There is no more #crossiscoming, there is no more #therewillbemud. Cross is here and mud is being. On Sunday, October 12, Semi-Tough and Yeah You Ride officially launched New Orleans cyclocross with an unofficial swamp-jammin’, beer-chuggin’, bike-racin’, family friendly gnar-fest. The course was comprised largely of the City Park Singletrack, and was…
Bike Crossing Grand Prix and Race du Lac.
Stage race weekends are pretty fun. Get yourself out of town, fill up on road snacks, gamble with your constitution at strange restaurant locales, try and find enough sleep in strange hotel rooms and eventually, after all the cat juggling, go ride your bike! Here are some photos that from the Bike Crossing Grand Prix and…
Break Away at the Lake: The Harbor Master Criterium
From Juniors to Cat 1’s, the inaugural Harbor Master Criterium provided a full day of high-intensity crit racing. Fields filled out nicely as racers toed the line to throw down for over $2700 in cash and prizes. As temperatures rose, lap times fell and purses swelled. A little breeze and a lot of adrenaline went…
Tales of a Cat 4 Nothing
Last weekend was NOBC’s 43rd annual Tour de Louisiane. I did this race last year, and for all intents and purposes, it marks one year of bike racing (sanctioned, that is). Instead of a blow-by-blow of exciting Cat 4 action, I give you a list of things I’ve learned this past year: Learn the difference between…
4D Spring Track Series
Tonight I will head to Baton Rouge to race in the last of the 4D Spring Track Series races. I bought my Fuji Track secondhand in the summer of 2009 and this spring has been the first time it’s ever made it to the velodrome. It’s been a painful good time trying to learn the ropes of…
Delta States Grand Prix Champion’s Jersey
I was totally honored and blown away upon receiving the DSGP’s Champions jersey. With an amazing laser-etched lid by Tom Futrell, hand built boxes by Chris Reed and Wes McWhorter and a slick kit from Endo, it was quite the package. I’m not sure I’ll ever reach the top step of the podium in this…
Here Come The Girls Alleycat – April 20 2014
Spring is in the air and the rubber is on the road. As the asphalt heats up, so will the racing action. But before things get too hot and heavy this summer, we’re warming up with some alleycat goodness. Alleycat mastermind Drew Stephan is at it again, picking up our slack, and hosting the…
ma vie en rouge
Here’s a story about hubris and the 2014 Rouge Roubaix. Given that I was planning to scratch from the race on account of knee pain just 24 hours before it began, I’d say my 21st place finish was fair. Given that I suffered a major mechanical at the foot of Big Bertha when my chain…
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…
