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…

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…
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…
Cyclocross Spectator Survival Guide
Wearing costumes, getting saucy, rolling in the mud, pushing the limits of cycling ability; cyclocross racers are doing it ALL FOR YOU, the spectator. OK, so most of us would probably still do those things in a dark room with nobody watching, but the point remains, cyclocross is a wicked fun spectator sport. The atmosphere…
Bookin’ It! : a Book Book! Alleycat Recap

Mega-Ultra-Thanks to Drew Stephan for organizing, to all the gracious sponsors for coming through with killer prizes, and especially to all the generous volunteers and checkpoint workers who put together a great mix of fun and challenging checkpoints. Turnout was strong, with 65 registered riders, and a few…
A Few More Photos From 2 Broke 4 the Worlds Alleycat
With the Book! Book! Alleycat only one week away, I thought I’d post a few leftover photos from the 2 Broke 4 the Words Alleycat to get you in the racing mood. Speaking of racing, I plan on riding my track bike all zippy like around the lakefront this evening. Meet up at NOMA at…
The Way Things Are – A DSGP Update
You may have noticed we’ve been pretty quiet over here for the past week or so. Never at a shortage for words, there is clearly an explanation afoot. We’ve been hard at work trying to make this whole Delta States Cyclcross thing a reality, and we’re proud to say that there is significant progress. Although…
