Yes, the crazy folks at localcycling.com are ready to jump off of perfectly good bikes! Much of the conversation at the Team Party night at Epic Bike and Sport last evening contained words like, "barriers, clearance, veldrijden, sand" and the like.

Watch for a complete guide to the Metro's cyclocross scene this weekend.

Mr. Daems and our own Donna Stevens

Roger Harrison points out that the cyclocross season isn't that far away. The DeStad Van Kansas Series has announced dates here. The localcycling.com news team is always excited about 'cross. We're planning our annual trip to Belgium for the Masters World Championships in January of 2009. We'll have information out soon for the many folks who are interested. Meantime there are lots and lots of great races planned for the area.

Just to tease you we've got some pics from our great friend in Mol, Belgium, Mr. Jos Daems. These are last years photos Mr. Daems took at the Masters WK. Here are some recent shots of his pal, Tom. Mr. Daems great website. Dig around for more cool cycling photos and some very cool clogs. We can bring you some back!

We're watching the weather, but as far as we know tonight's Epic Time Trial (presented by the Defined Fitness Training Team) is still a go. For those looking for an indoor activity: you can stay inside and enjoy the Cycling Team Special at Re:Verse instead. Drink and appetizer specials for all of you racer folks. Just tell 'em which team you're on.

World championship start. Photo by Donna Stevens

Here are a couple of galleries of photos from the recent UCI World Masters Cyclocross Championships in Mol, Belgium. The Localcycling.com news team and crew have made this pilgramage four times and are already planning next year's trip. The 2009 visit will include a trip to Hoogerheide, Netherlands again, but this time for the Elite World Championships.

Photos of the Masters race and refreshments.

Photos from the World Cup in Hoogerheide and hanging around the low countries. Both of these galleries courtesy of Donna Stevens. We'll have some video and more photos over the next few days.

More photos are available here of the Masters. Mostly complete results from cyclingnews.com here. Our note: Bill Anderson finished his 45-49 age group event around 51st place, but the second page of results have been lopped off.
