    The last time we saw Geoff Kabush out racing, it was at the USGP in Bend back in early December. And since Canadian Nationals were already over by then (with Kabush taking the win), he didn’t have any races to look forward to, except for the big one: Worlds Championships in Kentucky, two months after his last cyclocross race of the season. Yesterday, we caught up with him to find out what he’s been up to for the past few weeks, and find out a bit about his goals for Worlds and the upcoming MTB season.

  • USA Cycling Talks UCI Cyclocross Worlds and How They Kept it in the US

    The sand is just one of many features awaiting the racers at Louisville

    by Molly Hurford Since USA Cycling took over control of the UCI Cyclocross World Championships coming to Louisville, USA, in just a matter of days, a lot of questions have been swirling around. How and why did the takeover happen? How much will it cost? What kind of spectacle can we expect in Derby City? [...]

  • North Over South in California State Cyclocross Shootout

    by Phil Beckman/PB Creative BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA — In terms of genuine Rivalries (with a capital R), this wasn’t exactly Hatfields and McCoys. Coke and Pepsi. Cats and dogs. Leno and Letterman. As much as race promoter Sam Ames (and, we admit, the editors of Cyclocross Magazine) would like to stir things up, the third Annual [...]

    CINCINNATI, OHIO – At first glance, the bikereg.com registered riders list seems more like a promoter’s wishlist than a reality, but it’s really happening.

With only [...]

  • Mechanical Monday: What Amateur Mechanics Should Have in Their Toolboxes

    by Chandler Snyder Being a mechanic, I’ve been asked many times over the years, “What tools should I get?”  Usually this is asked by someone new to cycling once they’ve realized it’s not just as simple as putting on shoes and rolling out the door down the road. But regardless of cycling or mechanic expertise, [...]

    By Molly Hurford and Robbie Carver The Glory The 2013 Cyclocross Nationals wasn’t found in the dull roar of the fans, the screams, the jeers, the pounding on the course siding along the finishing straight; it wasn’t found in the victory salute, the raised arms, the mud-stained interviews. No. For us, Nationals was in the [...]

    by Jacob Fetty Kids grow up too quickly. We all know the cliche: you even think about blinking and you miss something … or multiple things. Blink once and your child is talking, blink twice and your little one is borrowing the keys to your car. As engaged parents and motivated athletes, we don’t want [...]

  • Support Women’s Cycling: Sign the Petition to Change UCI Rules

    Currently the UCI has a rule making national federations send their top three male cyclists to World Championships if they are ranked in the top 50 internationally. The rule does not exist on the women’s side. Thus, this year in 2013, fewer of the world’s top 50 ranked female cyclists are traveling to Louisville for [...]

    Our favorite U.K. columnist David Evans is back, this time to discuss something we’ve been thinking a lot about lately: Flemish. With the surge of Belgians heading to the US for Worlds (we hope!), we’re getting nervous about our abilities to navigate the crowds in Louisville effectively and politely, so David took it upon himself [...]
