My reference was to photo 1, I'm guessing yours is to photo 2.

Two distraught Belgians on the 2000 World Cyclocross Championship podium after Sven Nijs (Nys) helped his trade teammate Richard Groenendaal win the race.

Plus, cyclocross is great cross-training (like, as an alternative training form) because there's running. Repair that bone density in the off-season! Doesn't work with gravel.

My guess is that 100 years ago they had no way of measuring this accurately. From the sounds of it this is new meteorological territory. Like the storm that hit PVD during Cyclocross Nationals in 2005

Great to see you here. More bike stuff! How about some deep cyclocross dives?

Always liked this photo by Chris McIntosh (he's not on Bsky) Myself @lesli.bsky.social@thomasafine.bsky.social at the Providence Festival of Cyclocross 10 years ago on this day.

Three people in front of the Durrin Team Motorhome, two men shaking hands, each looking in a different direction and a woman in a cycling cap with a mouthfull of food looking in a third direction.

Still getting comfy on the cyclocross bike. It's a new build and totally different than anything I've really ridden. More aggressive,lighter. I'm sure that it will be just as fun in time. However there are few bikes as well suited for fucking around and going "Weeee" on than a vintage mountain bike

Turns out an 18 lb carbon drop bar cyclocross bike on 700c x 32mm handles differently than a 30 lb steel vintage mountain bike on 26" x 53mm tires. Who knew!

Campeonato Mundial de Gravel. Campeão: Mathieu Van der Poel. Nenhuma novidade até aqui. Ele foi Campeão Mundial de Estrada, de Cyclocross e agora Gravel. Não dá para considerar somente estratégia de corrida quando o Campeão é um gênio do esporte.
