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…
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…
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…
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…
