2007 U.S. Cyclo-Cross National Championships, Kansas City, KS

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:05:50 +0000

What a couple of awesome races. I think that was the smallest winning margin of Compton's four National titles. And the men's races was action packed with two of the favorites (Powers and Trebon) hitting the deck big time, and a bunch of lead changes between Page, Wells, and Johnson. The conditions were totally nasty, but still managable enough that it was still a race. Check out the awesome song they played for the men's podium presentation. Is that Vanessa Williams? I love her! Or maybe its Paula Abdul. I'm not sure. It's probably neither. Check back after World's.

WE Stedman & NBX Grand Prix

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:33:39 +0000

Here's some race action from Rhode Island this past weekend. Apologies for not covering the women's race on Sunday. Team Cyclofile got held up on the way to the race getting sandwiches at Pantera Bread. It was a long wait but the sandwiches were incredible.

Portland Cup USGP Finals

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:38:07 +0000

With some snow and rain on Saturday and steady showers all day and driving winds on Sunday, these were the worst conditions U.S. 'cross has seen in a while. It was epic. Almost too epic. The U23s were killing it this weekend, with Bjorn Selander leading the first lap on Sunday and Jamey Driscoll getting 6th overall on both days. Watch out all you old fogies. Hold tight for the Rhode Island races next week and then the grand wazoo the week after that. And stay tuned for Cyclofile's special coverage of the World Championships in Treviso, Italy.

Bay State Cyclo-Cross, Sterling, MA

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:56:15 +0000

This is a clip from the post Thanksgiving New England series race in Sterling, MA. Powers has been working on his turntablism, but it obviously hasn't interfered with his racing very much. Jeremy Powers wins the men's race, and Anna Milkowski wins the women's race.

The forecast is looking like rain for most of the week in Portland. Maybe we'll finally have some super slop for this weekend.

Mercer Cup USGP Cyclo-Cross, NJ

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 14:56:33 +0000

This weeks clip comes from the Dirty Jerz with the second weekend of USGP racing. They had a good venue and way more spectators than three years ago when they had a USGP in New Jersey. The sand pit on this course was so long. I'm going to call this the year of the sand pit in American cyclo-cross. Next weeks clip will be the post Thanksgiving race in Sterling, MA, then in 2 weeks its Portland.

Redline Cup/Boulder Cup

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:41:46 +0000

Thanks to Cyclofile's Denver coorespondant, Juan Reynaldo for shooting this great segment from the Boulder race weekend on November 3rd and 4th. Katie Compton and Ryan Trebon took wins on both days.

Chainbiter 9.0, CT/Cycle-Smart International, MA

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:14:55 +0000

The Chainbiter 9.0 in Farmington, CT and the Cycle-Smart International in Northampton, MA. November 3 and 4, 2007. A couple of good races on some good courses. The Boulder races are soon to come. These clips got lost in the sauce last week, but here they are now, a day late and a dollar short.

Derby City Cup, Louisville, Kentucky

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:03:34 +0000

Mmmmmm, that pizza sure was good. They had a giant tractor-trailer-sized Papa John's pizza booth which gave the race a bit of Euro flair. But it was pizza instead of frites and Haribo candy booths. I thought the course was good, with the green fly over thing, a bunch of sand traps, and a ton of twisty turnies. Check out Matt White come into the gnarliest sand trap on the tops of his bars! I thought that was pretty stylish. Stay tuned for a double dose next week from the Boulder races and the Farmington/Northampton east coast deal. Cyclofile Issue 1 just went gold, but we're shooting for platinum so buy a copy if you haven't already.

Granogue Cross/Wissahickon Cross

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:30:51 +0000

Here comes the next weekly Cyclofile installment accompanied by another great jukebox banger. Kerry Barnholt throws down, Katie Compton style, with back-to-back dominant wins. Timmy J strides to victory on the Granogue runup, and J Pows stays away, pretty much from the gun, to take the win at Wissahickon. Enyoy, and stay tuned for all the action from KY next week.
