- » The local cyclocross season kicks off this Sunday in Jackson Park. Important note: The schedule has recently changed, so double-check the current flier and help spread the word. Also, volunteer opportunities are still available. Contact Greg Heck if you’re interested. There’s no discipline more fun to watch than cyclocross, so if you’re going to be there anyhow, might as well spend some time with a flag in your hand. (And presumably a cowbell in the other.)
» Jonathan Dugas (XXX Racing-AthletiCo) is one half of the smart and thorough Science of Sports, which reads a bit like a Freakonomics of athletics. Dugas and colleague Ross Tucker recently wonked out over the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, but there’s a lot of good cycling analysis on the site. I expect it will become a must-read as we approach the Olympics.
» Someone took an amazing video of the Brad Huff (Slipstream) crash in the final sprint of the Tour of Missouri. “It helped that I had said a prayer,” Huff said. “Before the start of every sprint, I do that.”
» Only four more days to order your Unattached Rider uniform, guaranteed to be the sexiest kit of 2008.
