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.

Sounds like it was quite the post-apocalyptic throw down at the Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships in Portland, Oregon. You’ll find one of the best articles on the event written by our friends at VeloNews.com. Sounds like the Kona crew dove right in to the Beyond Thunder Dome theme: “Barry Wicks wore a sweater vest and what looked like wool britches, carrying a musette full of adult beverages that he happily dispersed to a willing crowd. Ryan Trebon ran most of the first lap with his dog on a leash.” Check out the madness
here.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

Seeing as we’re in the heart of cyclocross season, and we love cyclocross bikes and cyclocross riding, and our Orange Crush cyclocross team is, well, crushing right now, we thought it was time for a little revisit of this video we produced a few months back.
