Cyclocross Radio

On episode 57 of Crosshairs Radio, David, Scott and Bill talk about Resolution Cup and the North Carolina Grand Prix in the U.S., two DVV races and the Namur Cyclocross World Cup. We also marvel at Mr. David Palan's new audio set up. Next week, we'll teach him where the gain adjust is located.

In addition, we answered some great listener mail and played your voicemail messages, too. Keep those coming in. We love to hear from you and the interaction is a great part of the show.

Ben Frederick, who we first got to know in episodes 9 and 20 of Crosshairs Radio, returns for a third time. Ben wanted to talk, first and foremost, about updates to the team he created in 2015, which is now called beyondCX p/b Ascent Bicycle Studio.

After a good conversation surrounding the team announcement, we move on to part ii of the show, which tackles Ben's current condition and the recovery process from a traumatic brain injury. Four months ago, Ben crashed while riding through a sandy section on a training ride and hit his head. His journey back to normalcy from that day on hasn't been easy.

It's a tough conversation but one worth listening to. Thanks for tuning in and please check out Ben's new team at beyondCX.rocks. 

Also, follow on Twitter at @beyondCXcycling and Instagram at @beyondCXcycling. Give his team and sponsors a shout. And if you feel compelled, throw in a couple bucks to help Ben with the necessities during his recovery: https://www.gofundme.com/BenjamFred.

Scott, David and Bill record a late night (for Scott) marathon that includes a run down of NBX, Major Taylor and Ruts n' Guts, the three UCI CX races that took place in the U.S. last weekend. We then cover the Belgian race scene before diving into viewer mail and answering our first ever hot line calls.

For episode 51, Scott, David and Bill talk about the C1/C2 Derby City Cup weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. We then jump over to Belgium to break down Sint Niklaas and Ruddervoorde. We go on some tangents, lose our way, but it all comes back together in the end for a quick history lesson about Detroit-area forts that hold cyclocross races.

This is a long one, but it's worth it. We were left a bit rudderless without Scott Dedenbach at the helm for this edition of TDDTIE, but Scot Hermmann sat in and did strong work making the show work. Lord knows somebody had to. If it was just me and David it would have been two hours of obscure jokes and mispronounced names.

For episode 50, we go in deep on the Pan American Championships, Kings CX, European Championships and Koppenbergcross.

As is now tradition, the Saturday night after day 1 of DCCX, Dan Chabanov and I record a podcast. This year, along with Chabanov, we were hosting Dan Langlois, too. Dan L, aka Action Dan, was in town as team mechanic for Arley Kemmerer's Fearless Femme team.

Fueled by a long day and a bottle of bourbon, the Double Dan show is a loose but fun affair. We may stray a bit from the path but I think the conversation is a good one that covers a lot of cyclocross ground.

David, Scott and Bill get into it about the Craft Sportswear Grand Prix of Gloucester and the U.S. Open of Cyclocross. We also dive into the European scene and breakdown Polderscross and Zonhoven.

As always, there were tangents galore including a philosophical discussion on where the U.S. UCI races are located (or are not located) and when officials should restart a race.

We are highlighting Verge Sport, one of our sponsors from the ITCH tour in this episode. Check out www.vergesport.com and give them  a follow on Twitter @VergeSport. Let Verge know that you heard about them on Crosshairs Radio.
