Now that the whirlwind of Nationals, Masters Worlds and Worlds is over, in the next few weeks Cyclocross Magazine Issue 20 will start to arrive in mailboxes and on store shelves around the country. Issue 20 is packed to the gills with behind-the-scenes content from Worlds and Nationals, but it’s also jam-packed with bike reviews and a look at all five of the custom cyclocross bikes from our Considering Custom series that our testers have been reviewing, and three reviews of new off-the-shelf models.
And if you were thinking it’s the off-season, you’d be wrong: we’ve got a whole feature on gravel racing, so you won’t need to put away the cyclocross bike just yet. We also celebrate the best of the last season, with our Editors’ and Readers’ Awards.
If you haven’t subscribed to the only dedicated cyclocross publication in the world, what are you waiting for? For less than what you might spend on coffee or beer in a day, you can have days’ worth of informative, entertaining and moving cyclocross joy.
