Joan Hanscom is a national cycling treasure. Selfless, energetic and very, very smart. Cycling needs 1,000 Joans. #CXMWC http://www.cxmagazine.com/interview-joan-hanscom-worlds-usgps-race-promoting-2011?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CyclocrossMagazine+%28Cyclocross+Magazine%29&utm_content=cyclocross&utm_term=cyclocross%2C+cycling%2C+bike+racing%2C+veldrijden%2C+cyclo-cross
Now THIS is cyclocross! No silly gimmicks or costumes, just hardcore riding on rough terrain in nasty weather.
Congratulations to Todd, who certainly is among the most versatile and accomplished cyclists in the world. He raced MTBs in the Beijing Olympics and could beat a lot of the pros on the road. For Todd, Leadville was a cyclocross race with a 14,000 foot high barrier.
Good to see another Masters racer facing the future with a positive plan. We may not be getting faster, but we are still smarter. In 'cross, your brain is the first barrier.
