    2014 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 6 Master 45A

    The Bay Area Super Prestige series finished at the popular Coyote Point venue. Although the coyotes have long since been run out, the racers did their best to roam around in packs, chasing and gnawing on each other’s heals. The course offered up the familiar short steel hill at the start, a new sand section…

    2014 Surf City Cyclo-X Series Race 3 Open Singlespeed

    The sky finally opened and unleashed the moisture that has been withheld from NorCal for oh so long. And the parched earth drank it up in greedy gulps. Throughout the cyclocross world sighs of joy arose and then chants of ‘There will be mud’. ‘There will be mud’. And mud there was! Feast your eyes…

    2014 Bay Area Super Prestige Series – Race 5 Singlespeed A

    Here was the second of a two day race weekend for the BASP Series. The weather held out and conditions were great at Candlestick. Rain earlier in the week gave the course tacky conditions with only a few soft spots. Watch the single-speed A racers… or the bad apples in some people’s minds 🙂 More…

    2014 Bay Area Super Prestige Series – Race 4 Masters 45 A

    The BASP series returns to Candlestick for two days of racing.  The crew spread the fields out across the two days so as to give every category it’s own race, no stacking of categories, no mixing with chum, a mano y mano battle amongst your peers. Here you can see the Masters 45+ A Men hit…

    2014 Bay Area Super Prestige Series – Race 3 Masters 45 A

    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 Bay Area Super Prestige Series – Race 2 Singlespeed A

    This is the always popular night race of the Bay Area Super Prestige cyclocross series. The fields are always large and the crowds pile in to watch the action.  And the action on heckle hill is something to behold. You may even get ahold of a dollar handup! Watch the single-speed men hit the course at…

  • 2014 NorCal Cyclocross Series – Race 3

    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 3 Singlespeed A

    The final race of the Santa Rosa Cup CX series was held at Maxwell Park in the town of Sonoma. The Bike Monkey crew saved the best venue for the last. And with a little bit of rain a few days earlier, the conditions were perfect. Fast tacky ground, nice weather, and crisp fall temperatures.…
