In the penultimate episode of the first season of No Training Wheels we went big, and by big we mean tall. When it comes to tall people in the world of bike racing few are as tall as the 6 foot 5 inch Bill Schieken, a/k/a/ CX Hairs. His persona and influence in the dirty parts of bike racing, i.e., cyclocross, downhill, and MTB is unprecedented so it was great to get a little off topic with him and delve into that world.

And just cause we talked about it in this episode, here is Babe Ruth on an early trainer, sadly Zwift was still a few years off for him.

And we could never forget the Wide Angle Podium Network of shows.

Don’t forget Cyclocross Radio and Cyclocross TV. You can grab the latest episodes from YouTube here:

Cyclocross is here and the CX Heat Check is all over it. With one weekend of racing under the CX Heat Check belt, we were able to shove fresh data into the algorithm to compile all new power rankings. Surprises and disappointment await as we once again count down the top 11 men and women racers in North America.

The UCI cyclocross season continues this weekend in Rochester, New York, with the two-day UCI C1/C2 event, Rochester Cyclocross. The track is ninety percent the same as last year. But that new 10 percent is a bit of kick in the pants. Some tricky new off-camber sections should add a new dynamic to the racing.
