Everything you need to know about playing outside in The Natural State.
For the second year in a row the Crawdad Kermesse tops my lists of cool races that I have attended. The atmosphere, the course, the organization, the announcer, the associated festival, and the weather made this just about the perfect race. All of the SimplexQ crew but one had attended this race last year so the [...]
We had several video cameras set up among the rock gardens near the bluff of the White River Bluff Loop on Syllamo’s Revenge and 125. It’s a beautiful area with very technical riding. If you weren’t able to clear the section during the race you’ll see here that you weren’t alone. I picked the music [...]
(Update: We now have video posted from the race…Enjoy.) I have a cruel streak, I’ll admit it. It may be why I enjoy covering cyclocross races so much. In fact, I enjoy covering just about any outdoor event where the odds of getting a photo of the perfect “pain-face” are in my favor. Not that I’m [...]

I was determined to get up to NW Arkansas the next time an event was held there, and when Joe invited me to accompany him to the Saddlebock [...]
I was reminded today by the very cyclist who carried the camera in the video below, that the 2013 Ronde van Burns Summer Criterium Series starts next week. Maybe this will help get you in the mood. (no, the music is not from a 70′s porn movie…stop it.) You can also read last year’s story [...]
(Read Part 1 first or risk being totally confused) Ah yes, mountain bikes. This was billed as a mountain bike festival after all. Once we returned from our hike, Cliff along with about half of the lodge staff and all the Ozark Off-Road Cyclist folks geared up and headed out to get some mountain biking in. A [...]
I first visited Hazel Valley Ranch to cover the White Rock 50 Mile Mountain Bike Race early last year. I vowed I’d be back. When Roger Raines of Hazel Valley Ranch let me know of the plans for the Saddlebock Mountain Bike Festival I was all in. Sponsored by Saddlebock Brewery and Ozark Off-Road Cyclists, the [...]
