The BASP folks tossed in a second day of racing at Sierra Point. This time turning the course around for a taste in reverse and running it during the daylight hours. Watch the Masters 45+ A men’s race as they (and I) battle our ways around the course. More info: http://www.bayareacx.com/

2014 Surf City Cyclo-X Series Race 2 Open Singlespeed
The Surf City crew pulled us up on to the top of the mountain to race at the CAL FIRE Training Center. Last year’s race at this venue was dry and dusty! Lucky for us that it rained earlier in the week and the conditions were far better. Still some dust kicking up later in…

2014 Santa Rosa Cup CX Race 2
The Bike Monkey crew served up a flat and fast course at the Place To Play park in Santa Rosa. This location has been on the menu and the course was similar. But an extended route on the east end and some small adjustments for it made the race even better. And it was still…

2014 NorCal Cyclocross Series – Race 2
The second race of the NCCX series brought us back to Fairfax after a hiatus for construction. The venue still offered up a unique combination of dirt, grass, pavement, twists and turns within a school, and some very sketchy graded dirt. It was a blast to be back and the racing was a ton of…
