Few things work 'cross fans to a boil like a good 'cross photo. Virtually all of the photos on this site so far are the work of Joe Sales from Vancouver, BC and I sure do appreciate his work. Thanks my friend!
I met Joe several years ago through our connections with Rad Racing and last December, Joe and his wonderful family--wife Sarah, Paul (16), Pat (13), and Johnny (8)--spent their Christmas break in Belgium going to all the races. They were also at Worlds in Hooglede before heading to New Zealand for Sarah's six-month physician appointment.

To prospective campers: I'm working hard on the camp roster, getting a feel for numbers and races. When I hear back from some riders, I'll have a clearer sense of the breakdown with regard to number of juniors, espoirs, and elites.

Pulling stakes, bundling signage, and wadding up course tape long into the dark, drizzly USGP Jersey Sunday evening, I got to thinking (again) about how much work goes into putting on a big cyclocross race. So many good, hard-at-it folks chip in to the effort. I think most of the racers are aware of this effort because they’re busy too, cleaning up their bikes, packing them on to the next stop. And, I would bet that a good portion of the racers has put on a race or helped with a race themselves. So the acknowledgment and appreciation are there for sure.
But there is one special group out there...
