Cyclocross Radio

Cyclocross is here! For this episode Bill and Taylor Jones are driving back to DC after a great weekend in Roanoke, Virginia, at Virginia's Blue Ridge GO Cross presented by Deschutes Brewery. So much to talk about in this action packed race weekend. We give you the full post mortem while navigating Labor Day traffic on I81.

GO Cross is quickly approaching, which means that cyclocross is most definitely here. Elliott Caldwell (Executive Director at Georgia Bikes and WAP co-host of Kids Don't Follow) joins Bill for closer look at who is racing GO Cross and what we can expect from the first UCI Cyclocross race in the world. 

Race announcer and friend of the show Scot Herrmann stops by the remote studio in Breckenridge, Colorado, to talk about the five things he's looking forward to for the upcoming cyclocross season.

Jeremy Powers returns for his first chat with Cyclocross Radio since hanging up the toe spikes for the final time. This was a great opportunity to look back at key moments in Powers' career and also to pick his brain on the future of American 'cross.

It's the return of the Cat 5 show. What's the cat 5 show? It's Bill going solo and trying to keep the show around 40 to 45 minutes, the length of an average cat 5 race. Topics for this ep touch on learning how to enjoy riding bikes, again, and reassessing goals and expectations. 

Scott Dedenbach from Bike Shop CX joins Bill for an in-the-weeds look at the most recent changes to the UCI rules and regulations for cyclocross.

For episode 149 we sit down with USA Cycling's Cyclocross Manager, Jesse Anthony, to discussed the 2020 qualifying criteria for the Cyclocross World Championship.

Scott Dedenbach, host of Bike Shop CX and frequent Cyclocross Radio guest check in to talk about the upcoming cyclocross season, gravel racing, and a slew of other tangential topics. And as a special bonus, Scott has up-and-coming cyclocross talent, Lucas Stierwalt, waiting in the wings.

Zach Schuster, editor of Cyclocross Magazine, is back for another episode. With the U.S. cyclocross calendar more or less set, we broke down how the season is going to look with less races and significantly less C1 races. Lots of ideas thrown against the wall in this episode. Time will tell if any stick.

CXHAIRS Euro-correspondent, Ethan Glading, caught up with Lane Maher and Spencer Petrov during a stint of racing on the roads of Europe. We chat with Ethan for a bit to get some insight on covering cycling from the other side of the Atlantic before getting into the conversation with Spence and Lane.

Author, journalist, coach, podcast host ... it's Molly Hurford day on Cyclocross Radio! Molly has the first installment in an exciting new series of books, Shred Girls, hitting the shelves next week. It was great catching up with Molly, reminiscing about the past decade in cyclocross and going off on several different tangents.

Mathieu van der Poel is road racing's shiny new toy. Since he's taken his winning exploits off the dirt and onto the tarmac, Cyclocross Radio recruited the help of fellow Wide Angle Podium host Tim Hayes to divvy up some blame pie over what exactly happened in the Amstel Gold race.

World class mountain-bike and cyclocross racer, Katerina Nash, stops by for a great conversation covering her racing history and the latest developments inside the UCI.  Follow Katerina on Instagram at @katkanash. Follow Clif Pro Team on Instagram at @clifproteam.

Trying something a little different, this week. It's just me, your cylclocross friend, Bill, coming at you with a solo ep. Calling it the Cat 5 show because the goal was to keep it around 35 minutes. I failed at that, though, so I may have to call it the Cat 3/4 show, instead. For the episode, I revisit the UCI announcement about UCI CX teams requiring at least one woman and one man and the feedback from last week's show. I also preview the PRO XCT and dig into some viewer mail.

Scott Dedenbach from Wide Angle Podium's Bike Shop CX checks in to chat about the latest iteration of the 2019-2020 cyclocross calendar. We also talk about the new staging requirements for cyclocross world cup races and a huge misstep by the UCI regarding team rider requirements.
