THIS WEEK'S VENUE OVERVIEW

Frisbie Park is new for 2024. This is a park that is easy to get to with the dwindling daylight hours.

COURSE DETAILS - This is a fairly small flat course with minimal amenities. Plan on working your turns and straights and we'll make sure to have some barriers set-up so you can work on those handling skills. We'll have the course marked we'll do a parade lap at 5:45pm so you know the course layout. (note: route may change day of depending on park users, etc.)

PARKING - There is on-street parking. You can easily ride there. THE BIKEIOWA van will be parked there with the waiver table close-by if you haven't signed one already.

RENEGADE CYCLOCROSS

Practices are every Tuesday, starting in late August and rolling through early November. Arrive early, get warmed up, and ride at your own pace or with a group. For those eager to push their limits, group organized laps begin at 5:45 pm.

This is your opportunity to sharpen your cyclocross skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. Ride laps at your own pace, join others, ask questions—whatever suits you. No entry fees, no prizes, no official results—just pure riding.

It’s the perfect chance to build intensity, practice barriers, tackle run-ups, descents, and refine your cyclocross techniques alongside riders of all levels. Newer riders can boost their confidence and enjoy the camaraderie, while seasoned cyclists get in a solid workout and share their expertise. But most importantly, it’s all about getting out on your cross bike and enjoying a good workout with friends. Sound good?
