What an amazing race day today.  The Chicago Cross Cup has seen just about everything a good Chicago fall has to offer and today we got the good stuff.  There was just enough bite in the air to know it was cross season, but enough sun bursting through the clouds to warm the riders and [...]

Greetings.  Below details some of the questions we have received regarding Campton Cross.  Please check it out: 1. Do you have a map of the course? Yes.  If you were there last year, it will be essentially the same course.  As you may know, the course was changed slightly from years past in order to [...]

First, watch the greatest cyclocross video ever made (and filmed at Campton Cross): CROSS from Paul Michna on Vimeo. Second, put on the lederhosen, and do it.  You know you want to.

Blood, Sweat and Tears at Bartlett’s Sunrise Park What a day.  While the weather was probably a little too perfect for cyclocross (more like this in May, please) the racing was fantastic.  We’re working on getting a full report and a bunch of pictures online right now.  Until then, here’s a brief rundown of some of [...]

We have been starting at the same time, but I keep getting home later.  The team comradery is amazing.    You [...]

What a day of Chicago Cross Cup racing!!  Today we experienced everything a good Chicago fall has to offer and 12 of us from Bicycle Heaven rolled with it. For those of you who were warm and dry today you missed some amazingly technical racing.  Even more so than normal, the races were won and [...]

No matter what your thoughts of it are I’m sure one of two things comes to mind when you see a Surly Pugsley, either you really want to ride it or you really want to own it.  Sury has been making the Pugsley for many years now and many changes have taken place in their [...]
