Another Wednesday evening of racing at the Summit Shorty. This night’s race had a couple of surprises.

Dropped in at *the* party along the Tour of CA route and grabbed a little bit of footage as the race passed through.

Had a chance to attend and capture footage at race 3 of the 2012 Summit Shorty series.
Watch the beginner open (C), 35+, and women. Then a POV shot of the first lap of the intermediate open (B) 35+ category.

Captured the start of the pro men’s and women’s cross country race starts.

A time-lapse view from the Berkeley High pit during race #2 of the 2012 NorCal High School MTB League series.

The view is of the “Pit Zone” with the start/finish off in the distance. You can spot the uphill start in the upper left. Started recording around 8am and stopped around 5pm.

Lots of wind, rain, some hail, and spots of sun during the day. One gust knocked the camera over (sideways shot).

Captured using my GoPro Hero2 in interval mode. One photo every 30 seconds.

Composed as 5 vignettes each 5 seconds long.

Went over to Marin for a Pine Mountain ride to end 2011. Grabbed a few photos with my GoPro Hero2.  Beautiful day and surprisingly few others on the trails.

Watch the Singlespeed A and B categories spin around Spring Lake Regional Park for the second race of the 2011 Santa Rosa Cup Cyclocross series. This course was built for speed but with a mix of technical to keep everyone honest.

The footage begins with the A racers blasting off on the first lap. Then 3/4 way through it transitions to the third lap and the B leaders charging back up towards the start/finish.

Real fun course, great event, and something to look forward to for next season.

Here’s your own view of the Single-speed A race at the 2011 Santa Rosa Cup. This is a new series with new venues. The first venue, shown here, was at “A Place to Play Park” in Santa Rosa.

This two race series will offer up the coveted Santa Rosa CX Cup to the lucky low point winners. I’ll just pretend it’s in my grasp, but maybe you’re one of the lucky racers in contention.

Watch the final event in the Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross Series. See the Master 45+ A Men as well as a few stragglers from the 35+ field mix it up at Coyote Point.

The course offered a few new variations such as the fly-over, the pea gravel chicane, and some additional twists and turns. But the old favorite, the evil sandy beach section, was still in the mix.

Highlights to watch for include:

• Getting smacked in the head by a wheel
• Dumping it in the sandy hairpin
• Looking for a hand up
• Just plain suffering

Enjoy!
