Video from the 2nd race and Road House is Next.

Swayze Cross #1 from 28 Spokes on Vimeo.



This is from the 2nd race last Wednesday. This Wednesday we will have a completely new course with a run up and downhill mount. Also, maybe a barrier or two. Expect the ground to be a little softer this time.

Remember, free to race, good practice, good time, no numbers or license needed.



Please wear a helmet have at least 1 brake.



Roanoke Park, just north of the community center by Karnes Blvd. and Roanoke. 6:15 is start time, so be at least 10 minutes early.

The theme is Road House.

Day 1 over.

Boss Cross is an excellent CX Series. The next race is October 30th, Dress up.



The reason I bring up Boss Cross is that they have this cool thing called the "Leaders Jersey." Kind of like the Yellow Jersey in the Tour De France. We have one too. Thank you to Chrome for this! If you want the best bag, buy a Chrome Bag. Better yet, go to yourLocal Bike Store and get it.






Now, to the racing. We had way more people than we anticipated, 30 or more. We were very excited to see everyone show up. It was a great practice/race with a challenging course. We did 2 races. Both went well and I didn't see any blood. With the expectations of a smaller turnout, we had no numbers, so scoring was a bit of a puzzle. We do know the top 5 from each race, with Britton K. and Justin G. both getting 1st and 2nd in each race. There were plenty of other fast dudes too and I'm sure even more will be showing up.


Stay tuned for pics and some video.

Quote of the Day.

"If you think a 30 minute cx race is intense cut that time in half. See how long you can stay redlined before puking...battle away in the glory of free racing...as the man him self would say, "I want you to be nice...until it's time to not be nice"

Countdown to CX, 2 days to 2 races for Dirty Dancing II.

Plan for this wed, October 6th.

Gonna be 2 races.

1st race starts at 6:15. Don't bother showing up late, we gotta finish before the darkness.


6:15. .5 mile course, 10 minute Race.

6:30 .99 mile course, 20 minute Race.



This style of racing is made to grow the cyclocross community. The racing is hard, the course is challenging, and the time is short.



You do not need a license, you do not need to pay to race, you don't need to call the cops. Just show up and go.
