As the wether changed (a little) here in Arizona, my thoughts turned to cyclocross. I had never raced cross in Utah - great events - just never believed in my fitness. Well, this fall seemed to be the time to give cyclocross a shot.
www.azcross.com is the six event state series and they do a very, very good job. The first race in Globe, AZ was a bit small, but cool. Great course for a mountain bike guy like me - and I was able to capture a first place finish.
Event #2 in Series this last weekend at Cross roads Park in Gilbert, was definitely a roadies course - mostly grass, one short climb and SUPER fast. Much bigger 50+ Masters group, and yet, I was still able to squeek by in 1st.
A couple more cross events left in the Series, two of which follow MTB endurance events. Prescott Sixer and Dawn to Dusk are goal events - and of course, twe Series cross events follow the next day - we will see how that goes!
