  Emma White has taken junior women’s cyclocross by storm in the past few years, most recently taking the 15-16 National Champion title while riding through almost all of the 17-18 year old field. Emma has it hard — too young to race in the UCI races, she’s relegated to fighting for control of the 3/4 [...]

  Weston Schempf is easily the racer with the best name in the Mid-Atlantic (say it out loud a few times and see what we mean), but he’s also got talent on the cyclocross field. With a fourth spot at Masters 35-39 Nationals, Schempf is not a racer to be taken lightly. We wanted to hear [...]

  This year, at Raleigh’s Midsummer Night’s Cyclocross, Allen Krughoff took home the biggest prize of the night: the Raleigh-Clement contract. “It was definitely part of the plan,” Krughoff said of the contract win.

• You Pick Yourself Up: A Column from Josh Schwiesow

  15 July 12 • 3 comments

  Justin Lindine (Redline) had the chance to wear the stars and stripes in full US kit last weekend at the Windham World Cup: a race so close to his hometown it’s practically in his own backyard.
