It appears the cool kids stay cool for ever. Take former shred star Ali Goulet for instance. Thanks to a blown ACL in 2001 he faded away from snowboarding just when it was getting blown out. So what’s the coolest thing going right now? Some would argue it’s Cyclocross. And guess who is dominating the 35+ US Gran Prix of Cyclocross series? According to a story in Velonews it’s, Ali Goulet.
Not only is leading the series, but he is dominating it with four wins and two podium finishes. He also won his first cyclocross state championship in Utah this year, beating Cannondale-Monavie’s Bart Gillespie. . . “When I turned 35 I wanted to race the USGP and do my best to try to win it over all. I wanted to have one year to try it and if it didn’t work out, oh well,” he said. “Then I need to get back to taking care of the kid — trying not to be so selfish.”
Looks like plan A is going quite well for Goulet. How cool is that?

Cross racing is insanely hard, huge props to Ali for even entering.
Wasn’t Ali a badass mountain biker before snowboarding? And a badass at rallying before it was cool?
Props to a multi talented dude.
