SSCXWC 2009 – Bringin’ the Bacon!
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
A handful of Kona employees/racers and Kona athletes made their way to Portland last weekend because they didn’t want to miss the “cross event of the millennium” (plus this was the 3rd and last year it was in Portland)…next year Seattle (who won a hard fought battle with San Francisco) gets to host and try to match the over-the-top bar that has been set by the Portland crew.
Kona played a domestique roll in the SSCXWC by supplying freshly fried bacon hand-ups to all SSCXWC racers. Barry Wicks carried a mussette bag full of beverages and did hand-downs to spectators.

Barry and the Bear
Monday, November 9th, 2009
There is a bear living in my back yard. Not just metaphorically, but a real, live B.C. Bike Race, eat the small dog, massive apple sauce poop pile, growling, stinky, large black type of bear out there. I am not really too concerned about it, aside from the slight danger faced by the aforementioned small dog during night time bathroom breaks, but the bear makes me think about my place in the world. Before I came here, he/she probably just hung out on this hillside during the fall, gorging on apples, pears and blackberries and didn’t have to contend with shot gun wielding skinny bike racers yelling “cover me!” as they took the trash out or headed out for training rides.
The SSCXWC is coming to Portland
Friday, November 6th, 2009…And the Kona Factory CX Team, staff and friends will be there to represent. Don’t miss it. Stay tuned for more info.

Orange Crush podiums on both sides of the pond
Monday, October 26th, 2009
First. On the Americas side…
It was once again a battle of KONA versus Cannondale/CyclocrossWorld.com as Trebon and teammate Barry Wicks took a first lap lead only to be chased down by the tenacious trio of New England racers Tim Johnson, Jamey Driscoll and Jeremy Powers. After a barrage of attacks, the lead group boiled down to Trebon, Johnson, Driscoll and Anthony.
Podium for Helen Wyman in Nacht van Woerden
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Continuing her run of impressive results in floodlit races, Helen Wyman (Kona/FSA Factory Team) finished 3rd in the Nacht van Woerden.
It was the welcome return to cyclo-cross for World Champion Marianne Vos that caught most of the attention for the race, and she was quickly up to speed in the technical turns that formed the town centre course.
The Twin Towers on the Podium Again
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Trebon came up big again at Granogue, where the reigning U.S. national champion earned his first UCI win of the season. Wicknasty takes second.
“I’ve always really liked this course,” Ryan said. “It’s a hard race even when it’s dry because there are enough hills to make it very technical. Add in conditions like today, it’s an even greater challenge just to ride sections cleanly.”
