Let's bring a Volkswagen to an F1 race. Or, perhaps a better analogy, fuel that F1 car with E85 instead of rocket fuel. Trek CX is always on...

#CrossIsHere We wait all year to be able to say that. Relay Cross is a nice way to ease into the season. Alternating laps with a partner giv...

What's the phrase? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice then shame on me. We will get back to that. Campton is the annual Halloween race...
Kryptonite - "often used to describe something likened to kryptonite in causing someone's weakness, failure, etc." There are plenty of thing...
One more time the decision was made to head up north. After last week's podium my head was full of bravado. George talked me into it (or the...
After the Saturday podium it was time to be brought back down to earth with a smack down in the second CCC race of the season. The CCC 45+ r...

Midwest Regional Championships The end of the season is here. The Region Riot race and Nationals was all that was left. The Region Racing te...
Double Feature(s) With the CCC season over too early one must sometimes cross rival's borders in search of that racing fix. Saturday brought...
