Earlier this week, I mentioned cyclocross season will be starting up again on September 7 with the weekly Dirt Derby series. Look for some cyclecross fun at the Texas Custom Bicycle Show as well, and hopefully some enterprising chaps will start up the underground alleycross races again. We’re no Portland, but cyclocross is on the rise in these parts.

To get you warmed up for fun in the mud and beer ups, take a look at this trailer from the 2005 documentary Pure Sweet Hell. The film appears sufficiently grainy to get the vibe of ‘cross. Unfortunately, this film is currently out of print so you’ll have order on Netflix or get lucky at Half Price Books to see the whole thing.
