Pain Face

Oh..let's all sing the praises of PSYCHOCROSS!!! PUNK ROCK BIKES INSTENSE!!! BEER!! FRITES!

At first glance, these photos by Sigberto (the most humble guy in the peloton by the way) shows the spirit of cross.

The rider cresting a hill, pain face in full swagger, you can feel the lactic acid threshold expiring quickly.

In the background, some dude in a cyling cap and belgie colors drinking a beer. It's. SO.

PERFECT!!!

Reality check: you got dropped

YGD Embrocation now on the Shelves

Hey friendos. We've been moving and shaking all summer long trying to get the mix of ingredients just right for the launch of our YGD Embrocation. We've been dabbling for years making small batches of homemade goodness for our own personal supply. We want to share that goodness with our readers this fall with our first batch which we simply call "YGD Mild."

Our embrocation is made with local beeswax, shea butter, massage oils, and just a touch of heat. YGD Mild is perfect for any climate between 50 degree and raining to 70 degrees and sunny. We have a small batch ready for our readers at $11.00 with free shipping to anywhere in the lower 48.

Now back to the droppage.

The Best Cycling Photo of All Time?

I call this photo "White Sex Speeding Past Rural Farm"

A few observations:

Triple chainring.
Tubes slung around shoulder similar to tour racers, 80 years ago.
This is a triathlon. WHERE IS YOUR AERO HELMET...BRAH??
What I would pay to see his tramp stamp.
Good on this dude for being out there making it happen. Baller.

Time to go look at cyclocross photos.

Charming Photo Essay

Man, Cross is really tough to pick out who got dropped. Let's face it, cross isn't about getting dropped. It's about having a good time while strapping on for 45 minutes to an hour for a nice little visit in the pain cave.

YGD is ready for the cross season. It's here, folks. This past weekend, a few lucky YGD readers blasted the sweet smell of YGD embrocation in Baltimore for Charm City Cross presented by twenty20cycling. Speaking of YGD embrocation, samples of the first batch were just sent over to the Ed Sanders Lilypons promoters for prizes. It will be ready for public consumption soon but for now, you have to win it by riding fast.

We'll have to hone our skill about picking out getting dropped in cross races. BUT we did find a few great shots on Joe Mallis' photo site and have given some proper titles. These, are just the tip of the iceberg, we think. You cross racers are a wild bunch.

We call this one "The Stache"
