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 NorCal Cyclocross Series – Race 3
The tough Stafford Lake venue in Marin County was the location of the third race of the NCCX series. Murphy didn’t bring out his infamous “Cess Pool of Filth” but he did have his “Belgian Farm Wall”. And then there were the bumpy dirt/grass sections that reminded me of an Oakland city street. Wait, no,…

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…

2014 Santa Rosa Cup CX Race 1
The first of the three race Santa Rosa Cup CX series kicked off this past weekend. And being in Northern California during a drought meant dry 90′ degree temperatures. Luckily the course was partially on a grass field which meant far less dust sucking. Watch the M35A/45A Men’s categories mixing it up and get a…
A mighty fine website!
