Riding the unpaved, windblown roads west of Chicago. Cyclocross. Single Track. Adventure. PAIN.
I got in a little over 110 miles this weekend. Pretty good considering it was 25-32 degrees out still. Damn lying ass groundhogs. Getting ready for Barry-Roubaix next week. Lots of snow up in the Mitten.
I’m heading off to Pedal & Spoke to pick up some wider tires for the shit storm this weekend. Wish me luck.
This race gets nuttier every year. It’s nice to see BMX bikes holding their own against road bikes.

Awesome photo. I raced in the dust at the start of the season, aweful. So hard to breath, so thirsty.
Side note, this band is called the SONICS. I really recommend you check them out, just great rock n roll from the early 60’s.
Always down for a good adventure clip.
More cross video’s.
This is a pretty gnarly bike race. Their racing cross on a MOTO CROSS track!! Looks pretty rocky and really hard. Chicago needs to get a little more creative with it’s races. Lets do a cross race that involves a BMX track!!
I’m just sayn’ is all.






My second and last cross race of the year. Halloween cross. I looked real stupid. No one took a picture of me in just my JEGGINGS.
Good times, I was passed a bunch of pussies up the rail road ties and doing quite well for a single speed. Then my lungs burned out and I slammed taking a turn too hard. 52 out like 100. Not bad, I’ll take considering I was wearing jeggings.

One more for the road.
This is the best cross course I’ve ever seen. Looks more like a CX MTB course. Nice song too.
Nervous as hell for 1st race. New team too. #bicycle #cross (Taken with Instagram)
