2012 Santa Rosa Cup CX Race 3 Singlespeed A Men Video

 

Final race of the 2012 Santa Rosa Cup Cyclocross series. Mother nature decided to join in on the fun and brought with her rain and cold temperatures. The new venue, Window Oak Winery, handled it well and provided a fun rolling course. Although the infamous Sonoma mud and grass sucked the energy faster than the wine being sipped by the spectators.

Watch the single-speed A men suffer on the 1st of several laps. Definitely a tough course with only one gear. But it was fun.

Thanks to Bike Monkey and CX Nation for another great cyclocross series.

Cheers!

2012 Surf City CX Race 3 – Singlespeed A Men Video

 

Last race of the 2012 Surf City Cyclocross series. Signed up for the single-speed race and got myself whooped. Steam must be running out after two days of racing. Still, it was a fun, sloppy course with some very tricky sections. And three evil slick run-ups that were the nails on the coffin for me.

Cheers!

2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 5 – M45A Men Video

 

Final event of the 2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series. Jumped in for a second race after suffering in the singlespeed category. This time I chased the Masters 45+ A field around. With more than a single gear this course is far nicer on the legs. Plus the sun was out drying things up and the sandy beach section packed up and was rideable. Fun times.

Cheers!

2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 5 – Singlespeed A Men Video

 

Final event of the 2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series. Here’s the singlespeed A men’s category doing battle on this tough course. The combination of long flat sections and a few short steep climbs makes it tricky to pick the right gearing. Too easy and spin out in the flats. Too hard and choke on the hills. Oh, and the previous rains created a few soft sections which added to the suffering. Ah the joys of racing!

Cheers!

2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 4 – Singlespeed A Men Video

 

Watch the singlespeed A men on the start and first lap of the 4th race of the Bay Area Super Prestige Series.
The event was to be held at Golden Gate Park but a last minute decision forced a switch over to Candlestick Park. Luckily the weather helped out and dumped a lot of rain in the days before the event. This softened the ground, brought out the green, and made for an enjoyable course.

2012 Santa Rosa Cup CX Race 2 Video

 

Second race of the 2012 Santa Rosa Cup CX Series and with it mud and rain! The rare NorCal wet weather timed itself perfectly for the day’s event. Earlier racers were losing derailleurs left and right. Then the sun fought its way through the clouds and the course dried up a bit. But by the last race it was cold wind, clouds, and rain that forced their way back in.
