Kansas city, day 2. USA Cyclocross nationals.

Been here in the windy mid-west for a full day. Saw lots of familiar faces. Lots of super fast masters racers. Today, got to see Mo B Roy crushing it in her race! The course is F A S T. It is also windy as shit and our deep EDGE wheels were quite the handful [...]

I won a cyclocross race on Television!

TV coverage of the Eugene Psychocross series last month. Chris Brandt, Brett Luelling, Sall Collura and I get interviewed. You can watch the footage here.

USGP #6 Portland – finals

I’ve got photos and gossip from the race and the weekend but, I am hustling trying to get everything together to head over to the motherland (or modderland) so, I’ll have to postpone it till I have some free time. I was racing tired yesterday. And after a few mishaps and a 10 foot long [...]

USGP #5 Portland

Was having a decent race till my saddle broke! Here is a a photo of me killing it. Here is a photo of me fat like Jan Ullrich. Tonkin was sick and yet still doing his usual “pull everyone around the race course”. Adam Mcgrath was with us and we caught an obviously tired Barry [...]

Society of the Spectacle.

When I travel for cyclocross racing outside of Portland, Oregon I encounter a scene far different than the one I call home. It is always very cool to see what other cities and territories in North America (and beyond) have going on with their cycling culture. Something amazing to me has been the punk (post-postpunk?) [...]

Kevin Hulick – Oregon state champion.

Like a true beaver: Steven HATES it when I talk like this:

Oregon state cyclocross championship.

My team was pretty stellar today. For my part, I had horrible legs today. I could tell when I went to bed last night, fighting a cold or just being tired from the big week of training. And this morning I did not have my head in the game. I half thought about not starting. [...]

whoa! Sooooo busy!

I don’t have a second to take a breath. I know, I know… you must think I am living the PRO lifestyle. Lounging by the pool, shooting rounds of golf. Not so. Loads of email, planning and organizing. Negotiating, purchasing and balancing. – More Toronto photos. I need to write up a brief report on [...]

Par for the f'ing course.

Geez! Flatted out of the race with 1 lap to go last Sunday (the foreign tubulars, they are not cheap eh?). Just past the pits on an 8 minute long lap. Game over. As I said, par for the course for me this season. I swear, if I can just actually finish a bike race [...]
