I had the pleasure of interviewing a number of people over the course of the week, this one is my personal favourite. Jim Laird won Canada’s only Rainbow Jersey at the CX worlds… in the Masters 60-64 category. I thought that he’s a really nice guy when I met him. But you can decide that […]
World Championship
Louisville2013: wrapping it up
I’m not quite done sorting photos (about 4500 from today) but I’ve gotten the elite men and women galleries so I’ll take care of the Junior and U23 tomorrow. I’m too tired to be capable of doing a good job, 14 hours today after a string of Masters events has me run down. Still… here […]
Every Day Seems to be Adventure Filled Here in Louisville
I’ll file a report from today when I have time. Meanwhile… The organizers and the UCI have taken drastic measure due to impending flood of the venue for CX Worlds.

One note of disappointment: the USACycling.org site really isn’t helping media figure out what’s going on. No useful start lists, no […]
Down to nothing but finals @ Louisville

For the CX Master Worlds it meant a beat up course (waterlogged and wind ravaged) that needed a 2 hour […]
Weather Watch in Louisville
I’ve heard comments about how the Worlds CX course isn’t as challenging as it could be… I suspect the weather over the next couple of days could affect that. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a Belgian or European CX Worlds being put under a Tornado watch/warning. The next few hours could dictate how […]
Heading to Louisville…
I had originally planned to head to Louisville for this coming Friday, to cover the Elite CX races on the weekend. Instead I’m heading down on Tuesday and will be covering the Masters races as well as the Elite. It will be my first time visiting Kentucky too so I’m glad to have almost a […]
