The Plan for 2008

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to update stuff here this season. This won't really be a comprehensive clearing house for up-to-the-minute cyclocross news - I'd check out Velonews and the new CXMagazine.com site for what's happening. For SF Bay Area specific stuff, most of it will appear on the NCNCA CX bloggish pages. I'll continue to link to my videos and photos from here, as well as other stuff that catching my eye.

Four Races - Three US Silvers!

Yikes! If this keeps up, Cross is gonna get popular...

Danny Summerhill in the Junior Race

Katie Compton in the Women's Race

Jonathan Page in the Men's Race

I'm both giddy as a jellybean-amped schoolgirl and stunned as a salmon in a bear's mouth... What great stuff.

Muddy Thumb Up?

Haven't seen this one yet, but anytime someone is crazy enough to make a film about cyclocross, it's worth taking a look at.

"Transition - Experience an entire season of cyclo-cross, each race a sixty minute slog fest. This award winning documentary is a behind the scenes look at the most exciting form of cycling. Get to know the racers that make up the American 'cross scene as they battle - week in and week out - in the fall of 2004.
