by Molly Hurford It’s been a series of eventful weekends. From racing in one of the hardest crits around, the Tour of Somerville, to heading to State College to play on mountain bikes while catching the tail end of the Trans-Sylvania Epic and cheering Justin Lindine and Amanda Carey in for the wins, to running [...]
by Molly Hurford I know it’s silly to be writing about this: blogging about being unplugged from phone, Internet and even cameras? A bit of a contradiction. But nonetheless, I learned a kind of cool “life lesson” out in California last month. Working from home (or wherever I am) is awesome, but with one drawback: [...]
by Molly Hurford When I was interviewing the junior women on the Red Zone Cycling team in Louisville, Kentucky, for an article in our upcoming Issue 21, there was one six-year-old on the team who was a bit of a character. For every question, from “What’s your biggest race accomplishment?” to “What’s the hardest part [...]
It’s been a long hiatus since our first dual column, but here, Lee Waldman and I put our heads together and talk about the new Cat 5 field in cyclocross. LEE WALDMAN: I know this will come as no surprise to you, but … I have this propensity to act curmudgeonly at times. Well, given [...]
by Molly Hurford Being home for two weeks, with no races to cover, was unprecedented. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I had two full weeks of no racing, no events, no trips, no anything. So, what’s a girl to do? For this slightly out-of-shape reporter, it meant a chance to get a [...]
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 Molly Hurford 2013. And what a way to start it. After a couple of much needed weeks at home on the East Coast, January 4 saw me head North and West in a very long solo car ride that wasn’t nearly as fun as the Strava/CXM vs. WD40 Challenge from early December. Destination: Chicago, [...]
by Molly Hurford This past trip I made was probably one of my favorites this season. In part because it was a blast, but more because going to San Francisco from New Jersey was a pilgrimage of sorts. Back in the early 1900s, my great-great-uncle Frank Kolbe made the trek from Lambertville, New Jersey, to [...]
by Molly Hurford One of my first columns I ever wrote for Cyclocross Magazine was about fear. About being a nervous mountain biker, tentative on the descents. I talked about how I wanted to ride fearlessly, take risks, or at least, develop some level of confidence. Of course, as I wrote that, I had no [...]
by Molly Hurford Last week, I talked about my newfound love of local racing. This past weekend, that love was reaffirmed ten-fold when I went to two semi-local races for me, a nighttime practice race at Fifth Street Cross in Emmaus, Pennsylvania and NYCROSS’s Spa:CX race in Saratoga Springs, New York. The night race was [...]
