by Molly Hurford ‘Twas the night before Rochester and all through the house All the creatures were stirring, packing up to get out. The bikes were racked on the cars at the ready, Our bike shoes were packed, our wheels trued and steady.” (You get the idea, anyway. I’m psyched!) A couple of weeks ago, [...]
by Molly Hurford There’s a feeling in the air, it’s almost electric. When my phone rings and it’s my friend and now-framebuilder calling, my heart skips a beat. Is it here? Is it ready? Is it finally time? The first UCI race of the year is less than a month away. The gloves are coming [...]
by Molly Hurford Track. MTB. Book! OK, so I admit, those were just the notes I made before I started writing this post. But if I can’t share my ‘what I’m writing about’ in the beginning, then when can I share it? So that’s what’s been going on for me, interspersed with watching the Olympics [...]
by Molly Hurford I’ve started my countdown to cyclocross season. We’re less than two months away from the first UCI race, and just shy of two months away from CrossVegas, the unofficial season opener. That’s both incredibly exciting and completely terrifying, for reasons both work and race-related. I suppose it really hit me just how [...]
by Molly Hurford What a week. It almost felt like cyclocross season this weekend, since the Windham World Cup gave me the chance to not only race my bike, but interview some of my favorite cyclocrossers, including Georgia Gould, Geoff Kabush, Todd Wells, and Justin Lindine. Watching Georgia almost take her first World Cup win [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s been a nostalgic couple of weeks. Last column, I was celebrating one year at Cyclocross Magazine. Yesterday, I turned 25. The day before that was Fathers Day, which reminded me that without my dad, none of this craziness would have happened. Which served to remind me … last year, one of [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s been over a year since I first started at Cyclocross Magazine, and — wow — what a year it’s been! I hadn’t even realized that it had been a year since I started working for the magazine until I was interviewing Luke Keough post-Somerville race. Last year, he was one of my [...]
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 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 [...]
