Who's up for another round of patches? We've got a new design and some new plans for 2014. Can't wait to share them!
Cyclocross season is done.
My first complete cyclocross season is in the record books. It's amazing having access to such prime cross conditions in around PDX, and a full calendar of amazing race action to keep you busy from August to late November. At one point I was doing four races a week. I had some pretty tough moments, and a couple injuries that kept me humble, but it was all worth it for the feeling of that one race where I rode away from the pack and stayed away for six laps. I never won a race before, and if I never do again, that'll be just fine with me.
Next year I'm looking forward to having a bit more experience under my belt. You really do learn something new in every single race.
Here's a gallery of iPhone shots I got throughout the season. Next year I'll be taking a film camera with me to the races.
Barton Park Cyclocross
Great weekend of cross racing. 9th yesterday & 15th today. A complete and very welcome reversal of fortune from last weekend. Hope you all had fun out there in the mud too.
Whaaaaat... I won a cross race!
Well I never thought that would happen. I've come in second and third and a few top tens, but actually winning a race? No way, never, not going to happen. Until it happened.

We put together a page to show the full range of Rapha gear we selected for our ride across the country. Head on over to get a little insight on how we prepared for the physical and mental challenges we encountered out there in the world.

Some Instagram shots from an epic weekend of cross racing in PDX. The mud pits were hub deep, the temps were warm and the racing was awesome.
