    Blast From The Past – NORBA Nationals Downhill at Mount Snow VT

    2013 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 4 – M45A

    2013 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 4 – Singlespeed A

    Here’s the single-speed A category at the fourth race of the Bay Area Super Prestige Series at Candlestick Park. The course was the best yet after a mid-week shower prepped the conditions for the weekend. No dust, tacky corners, and clear weather made for a great combination. Cheers!

    A short clip from the start of the Men’s B race at the 4th Bay Area Super Prestige cyclocross series. The “Killer B’s” are always a crowd favorite. Although yours truly made a weak attempt at heckling. Still fun though! 😉 More info here: bayareacx.com/

    The second race of the Santa Rosa CX Cup series was held at a new venue, the First Baptist Church of Windsor. Thanks goes out to Pastor Lance, also a fellow cx racer, for helping provide a needed space to race. The course was a twisty mix of grass, gravel, pavement, and wood chips. The…

    The Surf City crew wrangled up a new venue way up in the hills above Santa Cruz. There they found the CAL FIRE Training Facility along Empire Grade Road.
