No, really! The rumors have been confirmed - Bend will host Cyclocross Nationals next year! (And the year after that!)
There is a really long press release about it, but I’ll cut to the chase because that’s how we like to roll ’round these parts.
Tentative Dates for 2009: December 10-13
Race Director: Brad Ross
Chance of Oregon ‘crossers […]
Last week, I found out that you don’t actually have to be fast to win at the Cross Crusade Awards Party.
You can be lucky and win the raffle, like my friend Beth, who made off with a ridiculous set of tubular wheels.
Or you can be unlucky, flat three times in one race, go home and […]
A few weeks ago, Wend gave me a GoPro Hero Helmet Cam on permanent loan so I could start documenting my cycling adventures for my column over there.
I wore the helmet cam on Sunday during the USGP and even though my slightly-concussed head was screaming (if you haven’t read the full report you can check […]
Truth be told, Sal was done before this weekend started. His heart was not in it. He wanted to sleep in and make pancakes and snuggle with the cats.
Instead, we got up at the crack of dawn in 29 degree frost and set up tents. We raced bikes and/or got caught up in crashes and […]
While I toil away over Lemon Zinger tea trying to process this weekend’s head-smashing, tree-crashing cyclocross finale, let me distract you with an announcement.
The Pdxcross photo book, “Dirty Pictures” is ready just in time to help you cope with your ‘cross withdrawl symptoms. Sweet! For less than a good set of tubular tyres, you can […]
I can see the dog’s teeth.
What strikes me is not that the teeth have the potential to puncture skin, but that I can actually see them.
It is pitch black, the cold winter trees of Forest Park blocking out the moonlight. Moments earlier I’d been alone and flying. Descending a slippery dirt and gravel road in […]
Georgia Gould is one of my favorite female pros. She is absolutely one of the nicest people you could hope to meet and she’s Hell on Wheels on a ‘cross bike. More impressive, cyclocross is a secondary focus for her (after MTB) and she still manages to go out and destroy people on a regular […]

Hey - is Thanksgiving tomorrow? How the hell did that happen?
Sunday’s race report went up yesterday afternoon over at Ye Olde Wend Magazine.
This week is the classic 5 days of work stuffed into 3 days time but how can I not take a moment to post this picture of the Dead Rat (my […]
I didn’t kill it. I swear.
But it was there.
Big, squishy rat. Cyclocross roadkill. On the course. Just after a jaunt through a pile of rotten pumpkins (rideable).
It reminded me of the sacrificial bird and I rode faster.
Something about riding over dead things brings back the primal viking urge of my ancestors that lies dormant most […]
My approach is all backwards, but my standard M.O. is to party all ‘cross season and then suddenly dig my heels in and bring the whole overindulgence thing to a screeching halt.
I tend to be all-in or all-out. It’s one or the other. People say, “Just have one beer.” and I think to myself, “Who […]
