Stephen Hyde is the reigning U.S. cyclo-cross champion. Stephen believes in being a student of the sport in all aspects – physically, mentally and emotionally. You may have seen him race on the road or on mountain bikes but his true passion is cyclocross as it seems to fit well with his skill set on the bike, but also because it somehow strikes a chord on a deeper level. You can follow Stephen on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
