It was very cold serving oatmeal, but the sunshine helped. The weather was frightful, but the oatmeal was delightful! The Nationals for Cyclocross took place last weekend in Bend, Oregon and riders from all over the country flocked to watch and ride against some of the best in the country. We heard...

Sunday, November 8 was my first experience cooking and serving oats to a bunch of muddy, hungry cyclocross racers and their fans. My only experience with Cyclocross up to that point had been gathering all the supplies needed for a “day at the races” – bag after bag of steel cut oats, raisins, brown...

A steely gray sky laced with rain clouds greeted me as I groggily got ready for work on Sunday morning. Yes, I admit it, despite my anticipation for Cyclocross to kick-off this weekend- I was not overly eager to leave my warm bed so early. Once set in motion, however, my body caught up and was ready...

This weekend marks the beginning of the seven-week River City Bicycles Cross Crusade Cyclocross. If you’re anything like me, you just scratched your head and said “Cyclocross? That sure sounds like it involves bikes, but what is it?” According to Wikipedia, Cyclocross is a form of bicycle...

A few of us at the mill are “training” for the Cross Crusade cyclocross race series coming up this Fall so we’ve been geeking out in the extreme over the tour. Who knew average wattage statistics and lactic acid threshholds for top racers could inspire such interoffice debate. As you...
