The day two course in China was a BMX/Singletrack rider's blast, with zero straightaways (even the start line barely made the regulation length). Jalapeno Cycling opted for risking pressure, dialing in the corners at 1.2 bar (around 17 psi). Kate nearly held it, and kept riding through the field until she front flatted. Andrew almost immediately flatted halfway through the first lap. Still, we had an amazing time, and wanted to share some of the photos we captured from the Women's Race.
For the second year in a row, our team went to China to get a little rad on cyclocross bikes. We'll be posting rider diaries in the near future, but for now, we give you photos from today's women's race. Click on the photo to scroll through all of them, presented here mostly in chronological order.
The Jalapeño Cycling Team and Von Hof Cycles put on a drills session at Liberty State Park every Wednesday at 6:15 PM.
We won't be focusing too much on individual corrections and perfecting form (like we do during clinics), but we will be getting bodies warmed up and ready to go for the cross season ahead, reminding the legs what it feels like to ride through the tall grass and run up hills off the bike.
Liberty State Park is awesome with bike culture, and we want to do everything in our power to keep it that way. The department there doesn't have extensive experience with cyclocross riders, so if you are coming, just remember to be polite and courteous to joggers, dog walkers, and park representatives alike.
The parking lot is right across the street from the Interpretive Center in Liberty State Park. Feel free to join in later if need be, we are shooting for 60-80 minutes of workout time. Riders of all skills are welcome. We will either be running or riding the off-camber hill within site of the parking lot, or in the open field behind the hill.
For up-to-date into, be sure to follow Von Hof Cycles.
