UCI, Eat Your Heart Out.

More GoPro goodness from Christian Heule. This time, it’s from the World Cup at Hoogerheide, NED.

I was going to accuse Christian of playing this video slightly sped up, but then I would be an idiot.

Congratulations, Christian, your “Exclusive Access” footage has won you the Twitter battle. Send me Swiss Chocolate.

I Will Smash You Down For Ever.

Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld rider, Christian Heule, snuck a GoPro into the World Cup at Lievin this weekend.

ROADTRIP

Five hours and 29 minutes from now, I will be getting in THE VAN.

After a brief stop in Jamaica Plain to pick up The Wilcox, we will point THE VAN west.

Destination: Madison.

Operation: #cxnats

Last time we did this, we drove 46 hours longer and we had a well-caffeinated Thom P to ease the burden. Thom has moved on to airplanes this year, but we know he misses the days of old.

He, too, will be missed.

Honestly, how hard can 19 hours be?

Ask The Wilcox after 19 hours.

Rumor has it he was a Peace Studies major in college. Time to put that degree to the test.

Updates are a coming, from the Ro Ad.

Too steep. And slippery.
