Our subscribers are just beginning to report receiving Issue 14 – and we’re getting kudos both on its quality and our record-breaking turnaround time to keep the content coming during the season. Copies are also showing up at the bike shops and book stores that stock our publication too [See our list of “Top Shops“]. Of course, you can always subscribe to the world’s only dedicated cyclocross publication (in print or now in digital, for those who love their iPads or who live outside of North America) to make sure you never miss an issue.
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s between the covers:
• This season has already featured an unprecedented quality and depth of Europeans racing on American soil. We feature these “Euro Invaders” in depth.
• We profile Niki Dallaire’s “Irrepressible Spirit” after she bounces back from a life-threatening injury and Linda Sone, who balances a challenging job as a firefighter with mixing it up at the front of Elite cyclocross races.
• Cyclocross Filmmakers in Our Lens: read the stories of Sam Smith, Henry Jurenka and Hans Kellner.
• Self-Maintenance: The foam roller is the bad boy of body care.
• CXM Labs gets high tech to quantify the power of different brakes.
