Remembering Cyclocross In Kansas City

There I am (on the far right in white gloves) last December,
trying to catch up with national cyclocross champion Katie Compton.

No fewer than two full-length documentaries are coming out this fall showing an event I worked in Kansas City last year.

I was the on-site media director for the National Cyclocross Championships, which took place in Wyandotte County Park, near the Kansas City Speedway. I plan to purchase both the "Zero Traction" and "Nine Ball Diaries" films, if only to preserve the memory of the four days of racing in ice, mud and snow.

If you have never seen a cyclocross race, watch one of the two trailers I have linked to above. You might be surprised to see what these guys (and gals) endure.
