CX ... in the New York Times?!
Wow, if the New York Times is covering cyclocross, maybe time to find a new fringe sport. The secret's out. Though the report only mentions Portland -- we're safe for now, I guess. Read the article here.ps. you may have to register to read the article

I read that last week. I thought it was cool, and I wouldn't worry about cx becoming less fringe until you see a front page article on espn.com. The photo is awesome: notice the woman standing in shorts and a little top--must have been taking a break from the hottub to cheer for Wicks.
Versus (OLN) will show the Tour du Faso but not a cross race?? It's an event made for TV. Crashes, dirt, attacking, and all pre-packed into a programming friendly 1 hour. It sure beats watching someone sit under a tree with a turkey call. The C races in the Northeast are the most packed fields (don't know about anywhere else). What is the growth potential given the lack of doping scandals and the "down to earth" nature (literally and figuratively) of the sport? Of course, careful what you wish for.
So you wanna' see awesome 'cross on Belgian T.V. with no commercials? (well one does, but it's pretty funny).
Here you go!
