Here, we have his uncut interview from our drive down to USGP Derby City Cup in Louisville, and links to some of his journals that he’s written for [...]
When sitting down for breakfast this weekend, we suddenly realized: we didn’t have anywhere to be. No race to get ready for, no muddy kit to wash … It was a disconcerting feeling, so of course we squelched it by heading out on a muddy mountain bike ride. But it did leave us with the [...]
You may remember our mid-season Flemish lessons brought to us from across the pond by our British reporter, David Evans. Here, he road tested his skills and interviewed some Belgians (and people in Belgium) while attending the World Cup in Hoogerheide in January to work on an in-depth interview with Amy Dombroski and the Telenet-Fidea [...]

Since we have a big feature in the upcoming Issue 20 all about how gravel racing and cyclocross go hand in hand, we were excited to see that Kona just came out with a new bike, designed to be the best of both worlds. According to the company, the Rove is a multipurpose machine: At [...]
by Jacob Fetty ’Cross is over. Now what? You have watched the World Championship replay 17 times on YouTube. You are lost. It feels like your partner has moved on and wants a six-month break. Oh, the drama. Here are three things to help you through the break-up: See Other People Over the previous several [...]
by Shannon Galpin The bicycle is a commonly used metaphor for change and freedom—wheels in motion, self powered movement, pedaling a revolution. Nowhere is this truer than in Afghanistan today, as the Women’s National Cycling Team begins to take shape. Cycling is the last taboo for women in Afghanistan; women do not ride bikes. It [...]
by Molly Hurford When visiting Portland during the cyclocross season, it was a whirlwind of races, bike shop events and cyclocross-oriented gatherings. The Northwest truly is a hotbed of cyclocross culture, in every aspect. It’s also home to brands like Redline (Seattle), Planet-X (Portland) and Chris King (Portland). So it felt like an invitation to [...]

Perhaps you’ve felt it, the urge to hop your ’cross bike off the course and go explore the vast network of unpaved fire roads that crisscross the country. The joy of the unknown road, the car-less silence broken only by the crunch of your tires on the pebbles that pass beneath you. The beauty and [...]
With the season all but over, Jeremy and Behind THE Barriers is off for one last trip, jetting around the world to Tokyo, Japan for CX Tokyo. Unfortunately for Jeremy, a bad bit of Mexican food left him with a nasty case of the stomach flu, knocking him out for a good bit of the [...]
Between travel to Louisville for Worlds and these gravel races that keep popping up, it seems like your cyclocross bike may never get a real off-season. But that’s no excuse for sloppy care-taking! Check out some of our articles on the care and keeping of your bikes in the off-season, from maintenance to storage. Off-Season [...]
by Seth Lincoln Going into the 2012 cyclocross season, I had exactly zero racing experience and searched high and low for information that might help me to prepare to race ’cross. While there are some good articles out there, I found that in general, the articles are oriented to someone with a higher level of [...]
Now that the season is over and you’ve most likely taken some time to think about your results from the fall and winter, and evaluated if you met your goals or not, you might be thinking about hiring a coach. We recently asked our National Champions a bevy of questions about their training, and one [...]
When we were in Madison for Nationals, we asked some racers to fill out a Racer Survey (see the results in our upcoming Issue 20) and while most of them were par for the course (you like mud, dislike the cold and were nervous at the start), there were definitely a few gems. Our favorites [...]
by Molly Hurford Has it really been two months since I last posted? I guess that stands to reason, since two months ago I headed out on my extended adventure to Chicago, then Nationals, Worlds and beyond. By beyond, I just mean a month spent in Georgia working hard on Issue 20, exploring mountain bike [...]
by Chandler Snyder It’s that time of year again. Time for the post-cyclocross blues to set in for some, though others may be happy that the past month of mud, snow, ice and sub-freezing temps are gone. Regardless of which side of the fence you’re on, don’t just hang the bike(s) up and leave them [...]
by Christine Vardaros While cyclocross season ended almost a month ago for most of the world, here in Belgium “de cross gaat door” (’cross goes on) – through the end of February that is! Eight events (seven for the women) were still up for grabs for those of us based here in the motherland of ’cross. [...]
