Fresh
from US Cyclocross Nationals, sixteen American riders were selected for
the Euro 'Cross Camp IV from December 23, 2006, to January 3, 2007, in
Belgium. US national 'cross coach Geoff Proctor started the program in
2003 and runs the camps during his winter vacation from his job teaching
high school in Montana. This is the fourth year that top US riders will
be given this opportunity to gain valuable 'cross racing experience in
Europe and to prepare for the world championships in late January. Coach
Proctor and his riders describe their experiences during the camp.
Just as Barbarella bumps through the universe, comically oblivious to
the dangers and threats being thrust at her, Barbara Howe has had a few
misadventures of her own. But with a stable team and strong results in
recent years, the 29 year-old Velo Bella rider looks set to navigate her
way to the top of the US 'cross tree, where she hopes to be crowned 'Queen
of the 'cross Galaxy'. Follow the fortunes of this free-spirited individual
here on Cyclingnews..
