2017 Rock Lobster Cup III

Ground this video out from the Rock Lobster Cup III cyclocross race. It was held at Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz in hot dry conditions. One big loop, up over and down. Rinse and repeat. I raced the single-speed A category and suffered on the climb. But the rest wasn’t bad. The technical drop back down was ripping fun and only ate me once. But after the first lap I figured out the lines. ...

2015 Bay Area Super Prestige Series - Race 2 Singlespeed A

The Bay Area Super Prestige Series started out in the dark this year with the Sierra Point Night Cross race. I jumped in with all the other single-speed A oddballs and filmed the first lap. Contrasty, bumpy, dusty, twisty, and fun. Cheers! More info here: bayareacx.com/

2015 Surf City Cyclo-X Series Race 1 - Single-Speed A

The Surf City Cyclo-X Series returned to Harbor High for the first race of the season. And with this venue came all the tricks and treats we’ve come to expect. Fast bumpy grass, the tour of the hallways, technical twisty trails, and the evil dusty “walk-up”. The SCCX crew always puts together a fun time and this was no exception. ...

2015 CCCX Series Race 4

Had a chance to head down to the Central Coast Cyclocross Series for race #4 at Toro Park. This is a great venue and Keith and the crew setup a great course. And with almost no rain that meant there were hot dry dusty sections. But not all as the course twisted its way over several grassy portions. Perfect conditions to shake out my new SyCip single-speed CX bike. ...

2014 CCCX Cyclocross Race 8 Singlespeed

It’s the new year and cyclocross is still going strong in NorCal. Drove down to Monterey still heavy from holiday cookies and celebrations for the 8th race of the CCCX Cyclocross Series. Brought the single-speed so I would suffer the most but keep it simple. The wet weather has made the Fort Ord course nice and tacky. Lots of fun ripping the berms and leaning the corners where normally that would send you in the sea of poison oak. ...

Sounds of Creeks Flowing in Joaquin Miller Park

The rains have finally come to NorCal and with it the creeks are beginning to flow. I paused on my ride in Joaquin Miller Park to capture the sounds of one of the creeks. Click play below to have a listen. Play Joaquin Miller Park Creek Sounds 2014 Joaquin Miller Park Creek

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 on the muck and mire of NorCal racing at the Surf City Cyclo-X finals. Held at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville, a venue quite worthy of this event. The Surf City crew dished up a tough course. Even more so when raced on a single-speed (oh I am a fool). ...

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 :) ...

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 the day but overall the conditions were good. The sun didn’t want to participate though. Overcast and chilly most of the day. Good when racing but tough before and after. ...
