The Bike Monkey crew has done it again. This year’s Annadel race was a blast. Crazy fast road start from downtown and straight over to the park. Lots of great single-track. Some ripping fast descents. Weather was nice to us. And at the finish there was beer and food waiting. Great job everyone! ...

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. ...
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. ...
This was the first race of the Santa Rosa Cup CX Series. Watch the singlespeed A men trail the Elite men on the Place To Play Park race course. The conditions were hot, dry, and dusty. Luckily the wind held back and made the long flat stretches a bit easier. Cheers! More info here: bikemonkey.net/
Here’s the final race of the Lake Sonoma Ricochet series. This time the fog stuck around until just before the 10am start. That kept it a nice temperature throughout the race. And then after the race, as always, there was the BBQ, Lagunitas beer on tap, drinks on ice, and lots of raffle swag. ...
Captured the start and a small portion of the course at the epic Skyline XC Mountain Bike race.

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. ...
