Los Angeles – San Dimas day #2

Molly — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 03:58:55 +0000

Oh man. Bad luck continues. Got taken out of the lead group early in the race when someone crashed in front of me. Argh. Chased hard but, lost so many spots getting back on the bike…

Not stoked on 14th place today. Really not.

Looking forward to getting home and trying to get my life back together and straightened out this week!

Los Angeles – UCI race weekend!

Molly — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 17:32:13 +0000

YO check out this video:

Quick update here. I am down in Los Angeles chasing UCI points. A couple small races, put on by Dot Wong (long time CX racer) in San Dimas. I am staying with Jeff and Cara but, they are doing the 508 over the weekend so, I have the house to myself. Aaron Schooler is here staying with me too. Really, why do I always shack up with the Canadians?!

I had a rough week, if you could not tell by my most recent blog post and I was not feeling great on Saturday. Warming up my back was killing me and, 3 laps into the race it seized up and, I pulled the plug. Lots of stretching and lots of sleep were had last night and, I’m feeling pretty good about smashing it today!

Re-posting up this video I saw somewhere else because it is completely insane. Not safe for work, or anywhere really. Not sure if I love it or hate it, I love lady hip-hop and sex workers but, maybe this crosses the line into an offensive parody? Decide for yourself:

Tell me. Where should I race this cyclocross season!?

Really, help me out people.

Do I go to Japan? (check out this gallery of a local Japanese cyclocross scene!) Daisuke is super rad and his race will be a first year UCI C2 in 2 seasons. Should I go over and help it out before it goes UCI?!

Shall I put in the efforts in the UK? Will the Brits give a shit about another anglo-phile coming over to get shelled? Is there cyclocross on Islay?!

I had a conversation a couple years back. About “sandbagging” and “cherry picking” UCI points and races. Traveling around the US and hitting all of the smaller races to rack up the UCI points. I thought it was crap back then and, I still think it is crap. I LOVE giving the smaller communities and small cyclocross scenes some love and attention. Help them build their cx programs and series up. And these days, there is no cherry picking. There are FAST riders at even the smallest UCI cx race anywhere in the US!!

Let’s hear some stories from the UK, the South East US, Southern California and Nippon!

What are the dope local races to do? (I did just get some emails from the UK with advice, thanks guys!)

As dorky as this is, I like it:

Passing the torch.

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.
