One of the most challenging courses I’ve raced yet (keep in mind I’ve only raced 4 times).  Brookside was a tough one with a lot of tight corners, run ups and loose everything… I loved it!  My body on the other hand, it gave out around lap 3.  I planned on riding consistent and thought I was doing so, but in lap 3 my legs lost all power.  I kept hearing Scotty’s voice in my head, we need more power captain! But it never came back. With that said, I had a blast! Below are a few snaps of CAT 1-3 “A and B”

Jerry Dufour. Low and fast!

Davis Yarbrough The Master Crasher.

And the well deserved reward.

If you’re in the BAMA area you should definitely attend a BAMAcross race. I promise you’ll have a good time.

Keep your eyes peeled on the BAMAcross site for the Brookside results.  What I do know is Chris Edmonds (winner of FOLLYCROSS) took first yesterday with a sprint finish against Jerry Dufour in CAT A.  Those guys were killing it.

This speaks to my heart in every way.

“Lucas Brunelle Goes to Africa” movie has been produced by CINELLI and edited by Benny Zenga. Filmed by Lucas Brunelle while riding the new #BootlegHobo cinelli bies through the 1700km of the legendary Diamond Coast route, final stage of the Tour d’Afrique!

Hobo is a totally new steel bicycle, engineered and equipped for off-road rides on long distances, Tour d’Afrique has been an incredible test for our new bike as well as an outstanding way to announce Hobo to the world!

With such a cast a short introduction about our friends spotted in the video is a must! Chas Christiansen, 100% pure San Francisco, is one of the top riders of the Cinelli Mash Team, iconic figure of the fixed-gear culture, always on the highest steps of Criteriums, Alleycats and Cyclo-Cross Single-Speed races podiums. Lucas Brunelle is the famous video-maker who introduced the first-person point-of-view shooting technique in cycling races thanks to his great riding skills and the innovative helmet-integrated cameras-system with which is filming and reporting the most extreme race contests all over the globe since more than ten years. Last but not least, Dario Toso couldn’t miss, explorer of the contemporary, historical ambassador of the ‘Bootleg State of Mind’.” – Cinelli

These turned out pretty rad!  Go to The 5th Floor to check out more.

From time to time I like to show off… this is one of those times. All shots you’ve seen Kyle and I post are taken with an iPhone 5 and processed using VSCO.  If you’ve yet to download VSCOcam to your mobile device… you should do so now. It’s a great editing tool to enhance yer already rad perspective.
