SoCal people: I’m looking for host housing for Bonelli-Fontana weekends for 4 people (3/13-3/24)… We are charming (they are well-mannered Canadians and I am fairly nice and have started to say "eh" at the end of things, so kind of count) and very easy to have around the house. Like quiet housepets that use the shower and toilet and fridge. (We can split up into 2 groups/jump from place to place if necessary.) Will provide beer, snacks and excellent conversation. Shoot me a message if you…

Hey guys. We wrote a book on cyclocross skills and technique you should check out. It is a full color book featuring Jeremy Powers that goes into detail on the best way to perform all of the necessary skills for the sport. We add tips, explanations, drills and a whole section on race strategy. 

You can learn all about it, and order a copy at cyclocrossbook.com.

Thanks. And see you at the races.

Masters Cyclocross Riders,



A little editorial from www.localcycling.com



The UCI has given the Masters Cyclocross Worlds bid to Gossau, Switzerland. A cool 'hotbed' for CX. It looks like a fun place BUT the chosen dates January 4th and 5th. Could be tough for U.S. masters wanting to do Nationals and…

I have a set of Velocity Major Tom single speed wheels with Clement PDX 33 tires for sale. These wheels were recently built and the Clements were  professionally glued by a LBS and have not been ridden. 

Front wheel: 24h Sun Ringle hub, 100mm, no skewer included

Rear wheel:  28h Surly hub, 130mm, no freewheel included

$600 plus shipping. PayPal only

 …

2010 scandium frame and Alpha Q carbon fork and headset.  Couple of small scratches but otherwise in very good condition.  Selling because it is just too small for me.  Can include Ritchey seatpost, seat, Ritchey carbon wcs bars.  Can also include Vuelta Corsa Super Lite wheelset for extra.

Salsa frames are generally run big so you can check the geometry and specs on their site.  55 cm frame probably equates to at least a 56 or 57 cm.…

This maintenance session is geared towards the SRAM GXP external bearing bottom bracket. I've been running the GXP bottom brackets since 2011 and have been really impressed by the ease of installation, and smoothness of the bearings after a few dozen rides after first installation.…
