Masonville Mercantile to Close

The Masonville Mercantile, which has become a popular stop for cyclists in Masonville, Colorado, is set to close on October 20th. The current owners, Melanie and Rodger Patton and Holly and Bruce Cook (you probably met Holly), purchased the Mercantile in December of 2018 and turned it into a cyclist-friendly stop at the crossroads of many popular road routes. 

Cross of the North 2024

Colorado's premier cyclocross weekend is November 2nd and 3rd at New Belgium's Fort Collins campus. Cross of the North will host races for all ages and abilities on roughly the same course as the Sendtown Dirt Pile races, although course designers are retaining a few surprises for the USAC race weekend. Even if you're not racing, I encourage you to attend as a spectator or, even better, as a volunteer. There will be food and coffee trucks, a beer garden, and a full vendor area.

Ride Review: Greg Scanlan’s 2022 S-Works Crux

Greg Scanlan raced this 2022 Specialized S-Works Crux to a win the men's 50-54 race during the first-ever USA Cycling Gravel National Championships in Gering, Neb, last September. If everything goes according to plan, he will race the same bike in the same town and get the same result on Sunday. The 58cm Crux is dripping with Dura-Ace and weighs in at 17.50 lbs. The only difference from last year is a shift from 38mm to 45mm tires.

Good luck to Greg and everyone racing on Sunday.
