• Cyclocrosser Hijinks at the California/Nevada Series TT

  28 May 13 • 0 comment

  

  Our SoCal photographer Phil Beckman emailed us at CXM HQ this weekend. Not because there was a ’cross race (it is May!) but because the time trial in the California/Nevada SCNCA State Championships featured a Cat 2 two-man team field won by the only competitors in the group … who competed on their singlespeed cyclocross [...]

• The 2013 Summer Reading List for Cyclocross-ers

  24 May 13 • 0 comment

  

  We know, we know … you’re out of school and you save all of your vacation days for cyclocross season, not some trip to the beach, so why do you need a summer reading list? Well, even if you don’t make it to the beach to drink piña coladas with tiny umbrellas in them while [...]

• Bradley Wiggins Crashes Doing a Cyclocross Dismount, Before Dropping out of Giro

  17 May 13 • 0 comment

  

  Bradley Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France champion, entered this year’s Giro d’Italia as one of the favorites for the overall title. But after crashing and losing time on a wet descent into Pescara a week ago, and then losing more time on wet descents in Florence and Naples, the British road cyclist (along with [...]

• Cyclocross Magazine Declares April Fools’ Day “Over”

  31 March 13 • 0 comment

  

  For the past few years, Cyclocross Magazine has had the tradition of having several prank posts appear on our website on April 1: some goofy, some downright scary, and most, just a little silly. Many were reader favorites, and a few that captured readers by surprise. For example: UCI to Mandate Disc Brakes, Regulate Gloves [...]

• Get in the Holiday Spirit by Celebrating Bunny-Hopping

  31 March 13 • 0 comment

  

  by Molly Hurford Sure, it’s a little silly. But here at Cyclocross Magazine HQ, we’re getting in the Easter-egg-hunting spirit by imagining ourselves soaring effortlessly over barriers, like Zach McDonald or Jeremy Powers. Of course, none of the staff at CXM is capable of such feat (see: Is Joey OK? for elaboration), but it doesn’t [...]

• How Cyclocross Magazine Readers Survive the Off-Season

  18 March 13 • 0 comment

  

  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 [...]

• The Comedic Interview Stylings of a Brit in Belgium

  17 March 13 • 0 comment

  

  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 [...]

• From the Mouths of Babes: Nationals Racer Survey, Junior-Style

  6 March 13 • 0 comment

  

  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 [...]

• Sneak Peek: Issue 19′s Feature, Inside the Gilly Suit

  8 February 13 • 0 comment

  

  In the spirit of holiday giving, we wanted to offer our readers a sneak peek at what’s between the pages of our latest issue of Cyclocross Magazine, Issue 19. This piece focuses on one of the characters that makes cyclocross unique: the man in the gilly suit, hanging out cash at races. Haven’t seen him? [...]

• Louisville Foam Party: Best Dressed Gallery

  6 February 13 • 1 comment

  

  First, it was a social media joke. A hashtag. Then… The Foam Party took off. With no afterparty planned for the race, the jokers behind the Twitter handle (Spencer Haugh, Brandon Gavic and Tim Hayes) did the unimaginable: they found a venue days before the event, secured it, found sponsors – including Cyclocross Magazine – and basically planned [...]

It’s your chance to vote for your favorite racers, races, what moments were the most controversial, what tires you liked the best, what embrocation you liked using the most and what kind of recovery snack worked best for you (and for those [...]

• A Guide to Louisville, Site of the 2013 World Cyclocross Championships

  30 January 13 • 11 comments

  by Chris Mayhew The main thing to know about Louisville is that 4th St is hopping. A lot of local stuff has popped up there in recent years. It’s right next to the host hotel. Market Street has some good places to eat as well, just a bit east of the hotel. The super hip [...]
