CX Hangover: DCCX and Whirlybird CX 2021

It’s officially mid-September and the cyclocross cobwebs are officially dusted off. While most everyone I know elected to keep it simple and stick to a single-race weekend at Whirlybird, I took it upon myself to drive unholy distances over two days in order to race both DCCX on Saturday and Whirlybird, outside of Philly, on Sunday.

CX Hangover: Sunshine and Singletrack at BubbleCross 2021

Cyclocross is like an adult playground. You hang out, get dirty, fall down, get back up, yell and cheer at your friends, drink beers, and hang out with dogs. I get it now.

CX Hangover: Hydra Cross 2021

Somehow I convinced Lucia, as well as our friends from KruisCX Diane and Elizabeth, to join me at Hydra Cross—a one-day race in Massachusetts three hours away. We had a nice overnight on Saturday and were able to spend all day Sunday the best way I know how: hanging out in a field with a bunch of friends. Even though I see the people I went to the race with frequently, even during Covid, somehow laying on a blanket with them on the grass just made me feel a special kind of nice. Despite the rain.
