Devils advocate

 Hey Henry..

Yeah..

What’s your opinion on dudes that only race the short course in the gravel scene..now a days, and post great wins week after week? 

Well..Where does it say after X amount of wins or decent performances should a participant be forced to move up to the next longer distance?  I mean this is gravel, and it’s kinda like the Wild West of cycling, kudos to those that can gain traction on there social media or in the bedroom for the substantial performances..

Hmm..

Hey Henry.

What..

They say..Grunge killed hair metal, road killed mtb and gravel killed cyclocross..what’s gonna kill gravel..?

Oh man let me sink my teeth into this one…because it’s a juicy one filled full of enthusiasm and hearts pumping with wide eyes and vision of fun loving folks so naive that the big party is never gonna end…

I mean come on would ya!!! Just look at last years schedule..holy Fckn Mary Jane rotten crotch stinky fingers…there was some shit on this schedule I didn’t even know existed…I guess I’m slightly confused…LIKE WHY IN THE HELL.ISNT THERE HINT OF ANYTHING LIKE CROSS OR ROAD RACING? …I mean…is this the Miscene schedule of the most important events… or do all these events count for the Mom Bucks!? …

Hey Henry..

Yeah..

Your simple opinion, is it better to have a cyclocross series in the warmer months than drag it into the dead of winter? 

Well, that’s a mighty fine question, the advantages to having it in the warmer months and having it end right at the tip of mother nature’s menstrual cycle is, of course you’re Gonna have more riders turning out now let me explain that the cyclocross scene isn’t what it used to be and most don’t even know what it used to be. 

If you looked up the definition of cycle and its origins. It was meant to stay fit and competitive during the colder months, but with so many other distractions throughout the winter, digital cycling, CrossFit and let’s just face it. This is not a disrespect to any of those that are doing it right now there’s a softness to the cycling world. Nobody wants to be cold and stumble around in the snow in subzero temperatures. Yes years ago before all the distractions that the last 15 years have brought upon us both in and out of our cycling life , this is probably for the best. Do I think it’s the best type of cyclocross of course not...I like being miserable and of opinionated.. is it easy? NO..Is it easy compared to the former lifestyle of cyclocross maybe a little bit but that’s still not a disrespect to those people that are so enthusiastic weekend after weekend . Its a hard sport, to win at a High level is quite a feat..
