Cyclocross 101 in da books!

by BIKEIOWA 1. September 2009 21:17

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??
