FORTY-THREE folks came out to play in the grass at Cottonwood Park this afternoon! WOW!! What a GREAT turnout for the first cyclocross event of the 2009 season.
Thanks to Jesse Gertlis with DMOS for putting on a fine clinic! At least 3/4 of the cyclists there were 1st timers. The first 30 minutes was spent on the basics:
- Cyclocross overview
- Bike balance
- dismounting
- mounting
- barriers
- holding your line
- Course laps
The seasoned vets were on hand as well to help and get a workout in of their own. This cross season is going to be bad-ass!
Mark your calendars now for 5:30 pm every Tuesday through November for a Renegade Cyclocross Practice at a different Des Moines Park every week. Parks will be announced each Monday prior to the practice.
We've got some video coming from tonight coming soon too.
OK - now for a little feedback... What did you guys and gals think??
