My midwest marathon continued: US Pro XCT Subaru Cup, Mt. Morris, WI, June 25-27, 2010

Timing is everything. And with Nature Valley one week and the US Pro XCT Subaru Cup the following weekend, it meant I could stay one week back in my old stomping grounds, Red Wing, MN and see a few old friends and hang out with my family.

Jacob Rathe Reports from Italy

I can't believe this kid.  He's having some amazing adventures in Italy right now, racing for the US Development team.  Give his account of Giro Di Basilicata a read, and remember he's only 16! 

Electric DA wins at Erpe-Mere

I was not sharp enough to notice, and thus I was scooped multiple times, but here it is - perhaps the first cyclocross victory on electric 7900, by Neils Albert.  I think we'll see more of this.  

Pain on the Peak

Today, I made it out to the inaugural Pain on the Peak cyclocross race presented by Portland Velo.  The race was well organized, and everything was run extremely well.
