by Kat Statman It’s that time of year again, folks! That’s right, my third favorite cycling event of year: the Giro d’Italia. For any cycling fan, of all the grand tours, the Giro is the most interesting, especially because ’crossers or former ’crossers have a tendency to do really well.

Though Johnson slid off the pace in the final lap, Driscoll managed to hold Eckmann [...]
Photog Jason Perry shared some of his images — both race and environmental — from the USGP in Bend, Oregon, with us, and even though the event was two weeks ago, we had a feeling readers would love his images.

The last weekend of the USGP saw some amazing racing: Gould and Nash duking it out for the win on day one, Johnson flying off the front of the men’s field early on in day two, Summerhill’s appallingly bad luck both days that cost him a potential podium, 17-18 winner Logan Owen’s two minute lead [...]
BEND, OREGON – Home of Nationals in 2009 and 2010, home of the Halloween weekend Cross Crusade, home of the USGP, and perhaps most important, home of the Deschutes Brewery, Bend is the destination for bike racers.
