GP Sven Nys:

More of the same. Not feeling like I am riding full steam. Getting a royal ass kicking from the Belgians. Today was the GP Sven Nys in Baal. A mere 20 minute drive from my house in Tielt-Winge. Verge and I arrived a few hours early (as usual for me, 5 hours before my start […]

Superprestige Diegem

A quick update: I got 40th place today at the Superprestige race in Diegem. After getting stuck behind EVERY crash in the first lap. I rode a clean race and stuck it to the little group I rode with for the last few laps. Full results are up at cyclocross.info. No broken equipment, no flats, […]

Holy World cup!

Drove out to the Hofstade world cup a couple days ago with Verge to heckle the FBUK British girls and Parbo. Finally had a day to play euro tourist super fan. Bought a bunch of touristy crap, snapped a bunch of photos. I fully intended to write a big update on my site. Instead, I […]

I got my Azencrossed…

…today at the GVA race in Loenhout. Here I am at the back, I got the biggest number, it does not mean anything. Photos and video do not do the course justice; it was fucking brutal! A typically long road start diving directly into a sloggy, muddy course. I had a good start. Elbows and […]

Matt Hall:

Xmas eve – xmas day:

Here are some shots of the Eerde-Veghel race in the Netherlands. Afterwards, as I was undressing, a bunch of older Belgian guys crowded around me and wanted to get some of my fan cards. I had the tiny little pictures cards I got made and handed a few to each of them. They were pretty […]

Eerde-Veghel C2

I’m getting ready to head out for a ride with Parbo. It is still cold, and grey. I picked up Ryan from the airport early this morning. Here are the official results: Internationale Cyclocross Veghel-Eerde Click on Uitslagen: Elite/Beloften The course was awesome! Hard packed sand, pretty short laps, mostly single track. Though it is […]

I was introduced to Sven Nys today:

By someone from Qoleum before I went to warm up. He was methodically checking his saddle height. He said hey, asked if I was staying through worlds. Wachtebeke: a pretty small C2 cx race north of Gent. I’ve got to make this short as I need to make some more dinner and food for tomorrow […]

You did'nt know I was 30?

Ha! I’ll make it short. I got 4th place today in the 30-34 US national cyclocross champs. I’m disappointed I did not win but, I am stoked that I got on the podium and got a medal. Michael, Hulick and I started in about 70th position near the back of the race so, it was […]

What did I tell you?

Legs ARE coming around. True to my word, I improved on my result yesterday! I feel like such a super pro bike racer. Sleeping late, getting chauffeured to my races, handing off my jacket at the start line… Awesome. Not much to report from Nathan’s house here in Providence. I raced the Caster’s GP today […]
