Geoff Kabush Says Athlete Blog: Kabush Opens up about his move to 29" wheels The month of April just passed and the race season is definitely starting to heat up. I just finished three exciting and very different weekends of racing; the very intense Houffalize World Cup (11th), the historic and hectic Sea Otter Classic (1st XC, 3rd STXC), and a fun and relaxed grassroots Whiskey 50 weekend (1st Fat Tire Crit, 1st 50 miler). April was a great month, I have a couple victories under my belt, and it feels like everything and everybody on the...

In the women's race, Strigel was already alone and working her way through the tail end of the men's Elite field before she hit singletrack. "I was going to stick with everyone, and see how it went, but I felt O...

Sunday May 6, 2012 Ten Votes in Favor of European Spring Mallorca. What better place to spend 10 days getting over the most serious flu/mystery virus I’ve encountered than a Spanish Island usually reserved for team training camps (what I’d intended) on beautiful, sun drenched roads and trails. Sitting around shivering, sweating and coughing is much better in a pleasant setting… Fortunately, Rosara’s Kiwi acquaintance, Craig, had a small plane to give a tour of the island that was impossible for...
