    USCX preview with John Meehan

    The USA has a brand new, nationwide cyclocross series coming this Fall - the USCX. USCX was co-founded by John Meehan (you know him from the Jingle Cross Festival) and will feature 8 pro races spread across 4 race weekends. John joined me via Zoom to give us all the details about the new USCX series.  Right after recording, we got some late-breaking news: the USCX will be streamed live on the GCN+ subscription service, so if you're unable to attend in person, you'll still be able to watch.  Official USCX page with dates and registration info: https://uscx.us More on USCX: https://www.ridecx.com/blogs/news-from-the-world-of-cyclocross/introducing-the-2021-uscx-cyclocross-series John Meehan bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hawkeyealumni/ RideCX: https://www.RideCX.com/ Thanks for listening!

    Mammoth TUFF with David Sheek

    I recently sat down with athlete and cycling coach David Sheek, who joined me to talk about the Mammoth TUFF, a mixed-surface endurance cycling event he co-founded with cyclocross and gravel rider Amanda Nauman. David and I met via Zoom during his training camp in Mammoth Lakes, while he was in the final decision making process on whether to attend the Unbound Gravel XL (350 miles!) in just a few weeks. We chat about the growth of gravel cycling, bike prep, handling the effects of altitude, what to carry on your bike, hydration and nutrition, and the COVID-19 protocol at the re-scheduled Mammoth TUFF, which is coming up this Fall. Great tips, especially for cyclocross riders who are used to racing for an hour, that might want to get into these day-long endurance gravel rides.  We ended up talking for about an hour and a half, so I’ve pulled the highlights of our conversation into this episode. The TUFF, originally scheduled for 2020, has a new date - September 18, 2021: https://mammothtuff.com David Sheek bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-sheek-27450b64/ RideCX: https://www.RideCX.com/ Thanks for listening!

    2022 Fayetteville World Championships preview with race director, Brook Watts

We talk about the Fayetteville course design, fan costumes, his long history as a race director, and the growth of Arkansas as a destination cycling hotbed. Because we can't meet in person at this time, this interview is a recording of an online Zoom meeting between RideCX and Brook.

In this episode of the Inside Cyclocross podcast, I'll give you a shopping list to build your own air compressor setup; plus tell you how to hook it all up, test, and get your new system ready to use.
