As I was careening down a grass hill around 26mph into sweeping right turn for the 5th time, my hands tired from maxing out the brakes, I thought to myself, “Man, NOW I get the disc brake hype!” The Bamacross course at Brookside was tough. I feel like after every cross race I exclaim something…

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…
New Orleans Women’s 100K
On July 20th, I was lucky to tag along with the New Orleans chapter of the Rapha Women’s 100K. Steamy mid-summer temps and epic downpours, these women were truly badass! Thanks to Murat Celebi for letting me stand all over his front seat and commandeer his vehicle as the official “media wagon”. Note: I don’t…
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…
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…
Ritchey Road Logic 2.0
A few of you might have already seen me zipping about at rides and races on my first ever new bike build. I love it. This steel framed Road Logic rides like a dream. The perfect amount of flex but still responsive enough when it needs to be. The build is not quite complete as…
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 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…
