2012 Cyclocross Nationals Madison, WI by Darcy Tiglas
The weather this January in Madison, WI was unusual. Normally, the ground is covered in snow and the wind is blowing bringing the temperatures into the low to mid-twenties by day. This year, for Cyclocross Nationals, there was no snow on the ground and the temperatures were in the 30s and 40s during the day. Cindy Milnick and I participated in the event.

2012 Team Camp
OK Folks, mark your calendars. Pending weather, the team camp dates will be March 30 through April 1st. These dates were chosen because of the least amount of conflict with the race schedule.
On Sunday we’ll plan on having an alternate Mtn Bike ride for those not wanting to ride the road all three days. This, of course, is weather and trail dependent.
NOTE: Make every effort to attend, at least, the Saturday ride as we’ll be taking the team picture (very important).
We’ll plan on an event, BBQ, or the like on Saturday evening as well. Location still to be determined. If anybody has any suggestions please pass them our way…

Linda and I won second place for the Best All-Around Team for the SW 45+ category and I won third place for the Best All-Around Rider for the same category. Continue Reading »

Going into the Breck68 I was feeling reasonably confident. My brain and body were becoming acclimated to the special requirements of racing mountain bike endures, as the previous two weekends I had competed in 50 and 40 mile events. I had raced this course in 2010, and knew that it suited me well. Continue Reading »

Superior-Morgul RR 45+4s
I had heard about the Superior-Morgul road race last year,and It sounded like alot of fun, so I decided to put it on the schedule for this year.So with the early start time I loaded up the car the nite before,laid off the beer, and went to bed early. The only issue I had was that I hadn’t pre-registered. However, upon arrival I managed to find the registration tent easily. So I paid the fee, and glanced down at the registration sheet and noticed that fifty-two other riders had entered my catagorie. So I pinned on my number, zipped tied the transponder to my headtube,checked the pressure in my Kenda Kaliente tires and got dressed. Slapped on some Belgium Butter, and When I was ready, I headed to the start line with only ten minutes to spare untill the start of the race. Continue Reading »
