Swiss National Cyclocross Signed Helmet Worlds 2013

the swiss did worlds right. they came, they raced, they raced hard, they had fun, and they are ready to come back.  you gotta love it when you can get some cool items for the bar/home bike shop. it's even better when you see your khs tent draped in swiss flags. what a great week of racing and fun. the 2013 worlds will be on my mind and in my words for some time to come.

every once in a while i say something about where the hits on the site are coming from. well this last 2 weeks almost all the hits came from europe. the usa was 4th on the list of countries. amazing!

the guy standing in front of the tent is the swiss mechanic and he happens to be from belgium. one other highlight of the weekend was cheering for the only hungarian in the race.

louisville shines for the 2nd time in 2 weeks

unless you were in a coma or don't know what a bike is then you know that the cyclocross world championships were in town. this is and was the biggest cyclocross race of the year and it was here, in louisville. it was also the first time is was held out side of europe. yes folks that's huge. the americans had a shot with jonathan page. jonathan had a few mechanical problems and this put him out of the hunt. sven nys of belgium won after a long day in the saddle.

so you're saying get to the point i already know about all this. well this weekend the bmx world will descend on the city for the usa bmx bluegrass nationals. this is the 2nd time in less than 6 months that usa bmx visits louisville for a premier event. lots of fast local guys will be there including tommy "2x4" board one fast old dude. so if you missed the cx worlds get out to freedom hall for some action this weekend.

it's not often that the cycling gods bless us with this much action in such a short time. i'll see you there.

masters worlds louisville,ky

good morning. it is wednesday jan. 11, 2012 the morning before masters worlds in louisville. the weather is cool and rainy. today is practice day. with the course being close to the river there is the threat of some flooding if we get a heavy rain. tomorrow there is the threat of snow with some heavy periods around the start of races tomorrow. i'll try to have pictures later today.

this is coming to louisville

you realize this is months/days away.

hot hot hot

well it's 11:10 and with the heat index it's 96 degrees. i can't believe i'm saying this but i can't wait until winter gets here. speaking of cooler weather, cross season is right around the corner. the ovcx schedule is not and has been for awhile. there are several extra race that are not related to ovcx that will be going on. i was down at the worlds course last week and it is going to need some work over the late summer and early fall. it also looks like there may a race or 2 between the last ovcx race and the worlds.

there are a few mountain bike races still to come including a race at the park rapidly approaching. should be a good one. also coming up iron man louisville and a 24hr dino race.
