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…
NOLA to Angola: 170 Miles Is Not That Far To Ride
Our good friend and cycling pal, KDHL, generously wrote about her experience doing the NOLA to Angola Ride. We think she is really cool for organizing and doing this ride, and extra cool for writing us an article about it and sharing these great photos. From October 19-21st, 40 riders and support drivers traveled from…
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. 2 // Baton Rouge // Results + Recap
Saturday’s race at Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge was a completely different animal from the season opener in New Orleans. The second race of the series took place under clear blue skies on a dry course beautifully designed by Blair Krogh. The circuit was a fast one, characterized by extended climbs, challenging turns of…
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…
Play Streets – Nola’s First Easy Streets Event
Many moons ago, New Orleans was a city with a great public transit infrastructure. Neighborhoods were compartmentalized and self-sustaining, requiring fewer long trips for goods and services. Streets were less clogged with traffic, and bicycles could move freely, as the Gods intended. Somewhere along the line, people got lazy, gas got cheap, streetcar lines got…
