It’s begun, finally, real cx racing. The wonderfully sandy race that is Hardwood Cross is this coming Sunday. If you plan to race be sure to register online before 11:59 Wed night. There isn’t any day of registration, it’s all online.
A CITIZENS PERMIT IS ALL THAT’S REQUIRED TO RACE THIS YEAR!IT’S ONLY ABOUT A $20 UPGRADE FROM YOUR CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Way to go Sean! A bunch of the cx regulars from the club will be there. Are you E4? Maybe you can master the sand, win and upgrade to the later race with a bunch of us.
Woohoo for the E3 / M2 crowd. Looks like we’re getting split into two fields, with the M2’s starting 1 minute later. That should make the starts of each group a lot cleaner.
Great turnout at the last O-cup, including several first-timers. The course was quite demanding, with some technical turns and ups and downs in the starting portion, followed by an uphill sand run, then a grindy uphill climb, and finishing with more twists and turns and another big run-up.
Mark R and Will A were first up in M3: Congrats Will on your first race at a tough course, and Mark R way to go 5th place.
After that, the E4 race had Sean B, Kevin G, and Matthew A lining up. Sean scored a 1st place, Kevin was 9th, and Matthew was 14th, even though he had to run part of the last lap with a dropped chain.
