This Title Needs To Mention The Mud! Also, The Shoes. And Possibly The Skinsuit – S03/E09 – The CXOff
The Belgian mud gods finally smiled upon us (with mud in their teeth, of course) at Ed Sander Memorial CX! After a ridiculously dry and dusty first half of the season, we were treated to conditions that could be described as epic. Is there a point where there’s too much mud? Yes, and we discovered […]
DCCX IS A HELLUVA DRUG – S03/E08 – The CXOff

Made it just in time to line up at the back and stay there. Hyattsville CX involves a LOT of pedaling, something I’m not very good at. Blamed it on the weight […]
