CrossVegas.com has been revamped with complete information about the September 24th race in Las Vegas. Among the most awaited information has been the “Wheelers and Dealers [...]
Cyclocross Magazine is honored to be the very first online or print publication to get an early look at the full-carbon 2009 Bianchi D2 Cross Concept Race. Like Lapierre, Bianchi is eschewing scandium for carbon this year for its top dog ‘cross bike, the D2 Cross Concept. The bike is spec’d with Ultegra shifters, a [...]
A new national ‘cross series is coming together, with the major UCI C1 races that are not part of the USGP combining to create their own national series. Currently dubbed “Cross of the Titans,” the series may include eight or more races, including races such as Gloucester, Star Crossed, and the race weekend in the [...]

As manufacturers start to shift their focus to the cyclocross season, we’ve been getting a bunch of new product in for review. One item that we’re about to test is the Ellsworth Roots ‘cross frame. Ellsworth is known mostly as a mountain bike company, but it has had a ‘cross frame since the mid-90′s, well [...]
Young film producer Evan Schmitt just graduated from high school last week, but he’s certainly not taking the summer off before he attends University of Washington in the fall. He’s been hard at work getting ready for the world premier of his second film Remember to Breathe on June 27th in Roslyn, Washington. The event [...]
A few weeks back, we highlighted an auction for a NOS Michelin Mud cyclocross tire that was probably 7 years old or more. It ended up selling for $66, which represents an decent but not stellar investment if purchased new seven years ago at $29.95 (12% annual return). Well, the seller was smart to not [...]
Albert Einstein once said, “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” If you’re like most of us, you don’t have much ambition to beat Page, Johnson or Trebon at at domestic race, let alone battle Nys and Wellens over in Europe. But perhaps [...]
Yesterday, our own assistant editor, Josh Patterson, was riding a disc-brake equipped Salsa La Cruz to the park, getting ready to put it through another beat-down for an upcoming bike review for the magazine. On the way, he was urgently stopped by an older Italian gentleman. The man started asking him about his racing background [...]
Adrie van der Poel was the Dutch hard man of cyclocross throughout the 90s, and racked up some impressive international victories, including winning the World Championships in 1996 and the World Cup and Superprestige titles in 1997. He finished second no less than five times at the Worlds, and had some notable results in the [...]
We’ve got a new poll on our site – check it out on the right-hand side of our site. Our past couple polls were pretty interesting. On racing on snow, over 50% of you said it “makes your heart tingle.” We’re assuming that’s a good thing, but perhaps for some that’s due to a bit [...]
Mark Legg was sadly relieved of pit duty when Katie Compton dropped out of the Treviso worlds on the first lap due to her muscle problem. But he’s still a big ‘cross fan, and captured some great photos of the race, with some great perspectives from the pit and start line.

Joe Sales ran around capturing the day in images. Here’s his version of Day 1, through his lens: Enjoy the photos? Think of something you want to see captured? Drop a comment below.
This is a continuing series of (slightly delayed) diary entries by Utah’s Lew Rollins, the reigning national mens 60-64 National Champion. You can read his first entry here and his last entry here. Day 4 (1/12) began early as we were on the road by 0630 for a 300 Km round trip to Langemark BE. [...]
2008 UCI Cyclocross Masters World Championships is just two days away. Zilvermeer leisure park in Mol, Belgium, plays host to this year’s event, and the US has got a decent crew heading over there to contest the event and battle for rainbow jerseys. Lew Rollins, the 2007 Masters 60-64 National Champion, is over there with [...]
Think ‘cross season in the US is over? While Europe’s season is still heading for a climax with worlds in two weeks and races through much of February, the US scene typically slows down dramatically after nats. But thankfully for die hard ‘cross fans and some promoter heroes, there are a growing number of races [...]
