Passing the torch.

This is so brilliant.When you get to watch your offspring railing through corners looking like a young Belgian neo-pro. A throng of heckling cyclocross fans lining the course, urging them on.

Ignoring the beer hand up to keep his eyes on his line.

You know you are doing something right with your life.

This is brilliant. Sent to me from Al in Illinois, that is his kid.

Al loves cyclocross. Brilliant.
