MenOn the first lap, a trio of Massachusetts-based riders pulled awayand spent the next 55 minutes cheerfully hammering on each other, likea lovably dysfunctional family during the holidays. Jeremy Powers (Cyclocrossworld.com),Jesse Anthony (Jamis) and Tim Johnson (Leer-Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld)appeared equally matched. From the swoopy turns - each with varying combinations of

Normally, I compose a journal article after only one, maybe two, hours of weekend cyclocross racing and generally have more than enough interesting material to write about. But, last week I logged in more than 20 hours of chamois time, and depleted two tubes of Chamois Butter, during La Ruta de los Conquistadores in Costa Rica. There are so many things to write about, I feel like I could publish a book. A few months ago my girlfriend, Heather, a wedding and event planner, got the opportunity to help a colleague with a wedding in Costa Rica over Thanksgiving and asked me if I wanted to tag

The writing on the wall said it all. Okay, the writing wasn’t actually on a wall — it was on a chalkboard mounted above a urinal, in the lobby men’s room of the Hotel Boulderado in downtown Boulder, Colorado, where the entire 2008 Slipstream-Chipotle squad held its first official gathering November 7-16. Nevertheless, the writing on the chalkboard in the men’s room perfectly summed up both the vision of America’s newest big team and the mood of its recent camp: “GO SLIPSTREAM. Here’s to a healthier year in cycling in 2008.” Boulder may be among the most cycling-friendly cities in the U.S.,
