This time last year, Raleigh was handing over big prize money to Russell Stevenson and Kathy Sherwin for their wins at Midsummer Night Cyclocross, along with contracts for Stevenson and Jenni Gaertner for the 2011 season. This year, the field is a bit more stacked, and entries without contracts include both the Elite Men’s and [...]
PARK CITY, UTAH – With the World Championships of cyclocross coming to the USA for the first time at the end of this season, the gamesmanship is already underway.

With Justin Lindine, Tim Johnson and Barry Wicks all toeing the line at the 2012 NoTubes Trans-Sylvania Epic presented by Dirt Rag, here at Cyclocross Magazine we couldn’t help but take note of the action. Entering the final stage of the Epic, Promoter Mike Kuhn said, “This is the sort of racing everyone loves. Unpredictable. [...]
by Kat Statman Another few weeks, a whole lot of news compressed, and always more to talk about than we have time and/or space.

He was down in North Carolina training and stopped by the Biltmore Estates, home of the 2016 Cyclocross National Championships, to take a peak at what [...]
When Tim Johnson headed south to squeeze in some serious training for his upcoming road season (more on that in our next issue!), he headed to Asheville, North Carolina, home of the 2016 Cyclocross National Championships. The race will be held on the Biltmore Estate, set amongst the 8,000 acres of America’s largest home in [...]

It’s the debate of the ages: should you be incorporating running into your cyclocross training program? We run during our races constantly: over the barriers, through the mud, across the beach, up the hill. For a pure cyclist with no running experience, that can be an overwhelming addition to a race.
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.
