DSGP #3 – Monroe

Rich and I have realized that when we raced first in the 4/5s last year, we could A) party more B) get better coverage of the rest of the race day. So please enjoy this small sampling of photos from the 4/5 race, that I admit, are biased towards my teammates on Rouler Racing. Peep…

DSGP2014 #2 – Covington // Guest Gallery by Rhea Aldridge

Gazooks! Illustrious photographer, Rhea Aldridge, had forgotten to grab her camera before heading up to DSGP2014 #2! I was more than happy to lend her mine as I pretended to play the part of serious bike racer and lo and behold she did not disappoint! Enjoy these amazing shots of DSGP #2 and the 1/2/3 race. Give…

Rouler on the Road // HTX CX — Part 2

Day 2 of our Houston CX Extravaganza was Give Me Some Sugar CX. Brian Voytilla the organizer of last years’ BCRCX, decided to do something different this time around and partnering with Kyle Davenport, started KOLO Promotions. The course was on an old abandoned golf course (hmm, familiar terrain) with Belgian steps and a FLYOVER!!! I…

Rouler on the Road // HTX CX — Part 1

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…

Weekly CX Training Race

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…

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…

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…
