cyclocross season is comin’!

So… what is ‘cross?

Some refer to it as a cross country race on a bicycle with obstacles…

The londonist sourced someone describing it as “Imagine running a bike race on an army assault course, and then throw in a bit of mud wrestling with the occasional hurdle. Mix these elements together and you’ve got the essence of cyclo-cross (often known simply as ‘cross).”

It’s from Belgium they say… and yes it is awesome. I suggest getting on youtube and doing some soul searching.

You can start here.

tuesday nite cyclocross begins!

Tonite is the first nite of the CX practice / fun over at Longbranch. Come and ride at the informal gathering or awesome.

These words from the fingertips of Skinny Phil…

“It’s that time of year folks. The best time of year. See you at Longbranch tomorrow around 5:30. We’ll ride some laps, do some practice, try and rip each others legs off for a few laps, go home and then have a tough time sleeping from all of the excitement.

If you can’t get there at 5:30, just get there when you can and jump in when we roll by.

For those that are still new to CX or want to bring someone new to CX, we can practice some basics to get people started.”
