by Molly Hurford For the past two weeks, I’ve been traveling and playing in the dirt so much that it almost feels like cyclocross season again (is it here yet, is it here yet?). I just spent the weekend at DirtFest with Rebecca Rusch as part of her Gold Rusch tour, where she goes all [...]
by Molly Hurford I’ve been learning a whole lot in the last couple of weeks about the past, present, and future of American cyclocross. And I have to say … it’s pretty amazing. I’ve been researching for my book on cyclocross in the US that’s going to be out this September, which means I’ve been [...]
by Molly Hurford One of the best perks of moving to Easthampton, Massachusetts may have been that National Champion Jeremy Powers is now practically living next door. But there are other perks, too, and one of the biggest is that NFG Cycles, a small custom framebuilding company run by Niall Gengler, is literally across the [...]
by Molly Hurford When Chip Baker asked me if I was interested in riding in the Rhonde de Rosey, a 70+ mile unofficial team race, I said that there was no way he could convince me to do the ride. After all, the Rhonde is primarily off-road with bits of road to piece the dirt [...]
by Molly Hurford When I first started working as the online editor for Cyclocross Magazine and first started writing this column, nearly a year ago, I had big goals for myself. “My personal goal, which was super-top-secret until now, is to podium overall in both the MAC series and the Verge series in the Women’s [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s been a very busy few weeks. Between getting home from Georgia after Southern Cross, moving into the “cyclocross hub” of the Northeast, and heading out for a casual five-day, 538 mile ride, it’s been a little hectic. But in the best way possible. First of all, I survived Tim Johnson’s Ride [...]
by Kat Statman For all of you die hard cyclocross fans out there, this is certainly the time of year that you should start getting excited about other forms of racing. First and foremost, it’s the off-season, so other than a good solid training ride on Saturday and Sunday, you don’t have anything better to [...]
by Molly Hurford I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love my job. When “work” entails tagging along with Tim Johnson on the Ride on Washington in order to interview him for a feature, that, my friends, is one hell of a business trip. Of course, four straight 100+ mile days is [...]
by Molly Hurford I’m finally back in the Northeast, my training trip to Georgia completed. I have a bike tan (well, one shade darker below my bib shorts line, anyway), I survived two of the Winter Bike League’s crazy Saturday hammer-fests, I managed to race my ’cross bike, despite it being February, and I stammered [...]
by Molly Hurford While most cyclocrossers have hung up their bikes for the season, trading them out for road or mountain bikes, there are still a few who hold out through February to get in one last race. It’s not exactly cyclocross, per se, but Southern Cross in Dahlonega, Georgia, is certainly a close match. [...]
