The fall season is all about Cyclocross racing. If you have never raced or attended a ‘Cross event, be sure to get out and enjoy the great events happening in the Carolinas. If you are looking for cyclocross tires, check out our review of  Hutchinson Piranha and Bulldog cyclocross tires. We spoke to the winner of the 3 Peaks and Iron Cross races, Isaac Enderline. Do you know a rider you would like to see highlighted? Drop Neil a line.

Mountain bikers got out last weekend for the Monkey Chucker 12 Hour mountain bike race, you can find the results here.

Last weekend he participated in the Jerry Zucker Ride for Hope (videos below are from a participant) and yesterday he tweeted about riding with the top fundraisers from the Wheels for Meals event. He will also be joining the upcoming fundraising ride for Mark Knight.
