One of the annual traditions of Cyclocross Magazine is reflecting back on a year filled with reviewing products and award those that struck us as the best of the best in the realms of cyclocross, gravel and cycling gear. Rather than copy the categories we posed to our readers for the 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards, we tailored the sections to our own experiences with riding and products. We conclude with some noteworthy rides, riders and events from the 2014-15 season.

Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be releasing all of the awards one day at a time. Be sure to keep checking back to see what products are most worth your hard-earned dollars. Issue 28 also has the Editors’ Awards and the Readers’ Choice awards, so be sure to order your backcopy today, which is also available on Uberflip.
