Cyclocross Practice
CX practice continues at Leslie Park this Thursday the 22nd at 5:30 until the waning light.

We'll have barriers set up and a course that we can suffer on enjoy. There might even be a bit more JP to hand out to the worthy.

Keeping legs and lungs tuned for fall.

CXpreX #3 @ BUHR PARK, tonight, Thursday, September 15. The Grand Finale!
Starts promptly at 6pm. 

Still plenty of swag to toss your way. Morgan & York + Jolly Pumpkin are happily part of the scene. 

Come on out! (Behind Cobblestone Farm off of Packard.)

Rich and Richard vied for first in the A Race from start to finish. The B Race had some major skirmishes in the top positions throughout the race, with places changing lap by lap. Exciting stuff! Posting of the series leaders soon.

I'll cull through the photos and try to get a plethora of shots from #2 posted well before CXpreX3. Stay tuned.

CXpreX #3 in two weeks, Thursday, Sept 15 @ 6pm - Buhr Park (behind Cobblestone Farm). Rich the Sadisti...I mean...the Magnificent will lay out another punishi...err...fun course for your riding and racing pleasure. Plenty of swag still to hand out, joy from Jolly Pumpkin and delectables from Morgan & York. See you at Buhr.

Kisscross begins September 11

Kisscross, on the western side of the state, begins soon! You'll have quite a weekend of it if you attend the Tailwind training session on Saturday, September 10th and then head over to the Kisscross race at Plaster Creek Park in Grand Rapids on the next day.

Click on the Logo above to link to the Kisscross schedule for this season.

Note that these Kisscross races are day-of registration only and there is no license required. If that license thing intimidates you, there's no excuse now.

This is put on by the same people that put together Barry-Roubaix and Lumberjack 100, so it will be well organized and well run. That's the way things are done over there! (And there will be beer...check out the logo.)

Tailwind Clinic September 10th

Sure to be a great clinic, Tailwind, Kinetic Systems, and the Rhinos will add to the pre-season preparation with a Saturday session on September 10th. These are the people who put  CX on the map in Michigan. It will be well worth the drive over.

CXpreX #2

Photos From Clinic #1 (It's a click away)

Anyone who missed the first session is welcome to the next two. We'll help everyone at all levels at all three clinics. All you have to do is show up and join in the thrills.

Clinic #2
Thursday, September 1 @ 6pm, Leslie Park.  Scroll down the blog for directions. Much more swag to hand out, by the way, plus another great set of trays from Morgan & York and fun stuff from Jolly Pumpkin.
