by Tom Simpson First, you have to start off with the map otherwise you’d never feel oriented (especially when I mention course crossing #9 and you’re already in the woods). Here’s the map.

by Lyne Bessette In the plane on my way back from Louisville. I had a blast! I am now a master racer (it’s official its on my racing license!) That makes me feel grown up! Most people know that I pilot a blind athlete on the tandem for Canada. When I started doing that, I [...]

by Lee Waldman I just arrived in Louisville last night to 20 degrees and snow! My goal this year was to avoid a late season winter race, which was one of the reasons I chose not to race Nationals. Looks like a bad choice. After getting lost three times (yeah, guys do ask for directions), [...]

Hello Cyclocross Fans! It’s Friday here in Belgium – I mean Madison – pre-ride day for myself and lots of other masters who’ll be racing tomorrow.

by Christine Vardaros For the last few weeks I’ve had a positive outlook on my cyclocross season – and it was about friggin’ time, I must add. I am now starting to feel like a bike racer again – attacking the courses rather than feeling like a cyclotourist doing leisurely loops around the local park.
