Laurence Malone, on the Cyclocross Magazine Issue 15 Cover
As the domestic cyclocross calendar winds down for 2011, Cyclocross Magazine Issue 15 arrives in mailboxes and on store shelves around the country. Issue 15 takes readers back to the roots of American ’cross, and reports on where we’ve come to at this point in our sport’s history. If you haven’t subscribed to the only dedicated cyclocross publication in the world, what are you waiting for? Copies will be hitting store shelves soon too, check here for shops that carry CXM. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
- We tracked down the elusive Laurence Malone, our cover boy, winner of the first five editions of our National Championship from 1976-1980, for an exclusive profile
- The story of Mark and Frank McCormack, who defined American ’cross and New England racing in the 1990s
- A trip through the Fountain brothers’ permanent cyclocross course on their airfield in Moscow, Idaho
