I’m probably going to saddle up for 1 or 2 races 
probably 
Can drive 
I'm gonna try for a few if there's a chance to race multiple times in the day.

I've always been turned off by having to drive then race for only ~30ish minutes
@GregHoge ,completely agree , I'm normally bolloxed after 20 minutes  =)  
Does anyone know when the NY State CX Championship is?

Just went to the NYSBRA site and don't see it on the calendar.
This looks like it JP, Marbletown Madness Oct 26th in Newark, NY near Rochester.

Cyclocross is everything you want cycling to be.

We make some random cameos on this, I was lucky to share a few laps with Curley last year, but that's not what this video is about. You will want to watch this.

My cross schedule is going to be super limited this year. I’m likely only going to make it HPCX and Cooper River (and if Beastcross gets added, maybe that?). I had grand ambitions of getting to bubblecross but at my current fitness level I think I’d last a lap (if that much), then pedal squares in the back of the field and counting down the minutes

"Pedaling squares in the back of the field and counting down the minutes until you get pulled from the course and collapsing into a black hole of pain" is my middle name!
Yes , i thought you pretty much defined cross for me there also in that last sentance

I’m starting my CX season at carpenter cross Saturday. Anyone else game?

I'm very likely but still tentative for Carpenter, I'll reach out.
While I think CrossResults is missing a race or two, just noticed that it has a new simple little line: Total Races.

My 200th race was my first of the 2025 season at Carpenter Cross, there I got smoked by Patrick and exploded after sliding on a corner on lap 2. Still so much fun to go so deep.

400 races LFG!


Found photos from 2007!!! to go along:



Bottom photo is from HPCX which is happening this weekend, only 45 minutes from Brooklyn, let's go race bikes!!

Happy to see this 

But Vaughters is suck a dick !

“This is a fun experiment for us, but one that we want to excel at,” EF Pro Cycling CEO Jonathan Vaughters said in a team press release.

“From the start of the alternative calendar with Lachlan Morton, we’ve always done some pretty experimental stuff that’s been a bit on the edges. This is a continuation of that, as we’ve always believed that cycling should be as inclusive as possible."



It never occurred to me that EF didn't already have a pro cx team! 

Does Assos make pro cx skinsuits?

I think you mean Rapha (for the next two months).

No.  but they can use those 'tripwire' road skinsuits (the black strips they've stitched on top of a few seams) and make up a good story about them.
I figure whatever stock they have now from Rapha is whatever they have left through the rest of the season until Assos starts supplying them with kit in 2026?
That's probably right.  Tailors can customize existing clothing.

While I'd expect Assos to do something much more interesting for EF than they did for Legion of LA, it also wouldn't be surprising if a third party like Moa/Nalini makes the clothing, at least initially.
