Look, I don't care where it starts and ends, it's Gent-Wevelgem. This sport is weird as hell, just embrace it.

And so, as usual, the flight schedule out of National Airport is really the only thing that matters in Congress.

Just a little too late to drive wash kit sales at Pan Am cyclocross champs, but welcome nonetheless.
Most models show a sharp cold front coming through the DC region sometime on Sunday or Sunday night. That front, which may bring a period of showers and a thunderstorm, should usher in the coldest air of the season thus far. Maybe even a few stray snowflakes?

Between the government shutdown and all the layoffs, the end of the DC-area cyclocross season is going to be insanely fast.

Amazing. And strangely, when I picture Breu, it’s not for the Alpe but for a head-to-toe mud shot in Simon Burney’s original cyclocross book.
With Alpe d'Huez back in the Tour de France, this replica model commemorates Beat Breu's stage win there in 1982 with Breu alone in the lead just before the arch. It's got a Dutch corner and plenty of other details. It's about a metre long. Best of all Breu made it himself

It’s a shame that its release by a rival grocery store chain will prevent the @tomashuuns.bsky.social collab this deserves.
I can’t believe aldi did this in the uk and not Ireland.

I feel like the focus on top tube shape/profile for shouldering (see, e.g., new Pinarello Crossista) is disproportionate to the time spent shouldering in modern cyclocross.
