Tuesday
races and a few other miscellaneous races near Albuquerque, NM
Upcoming weekend events:
9/8 Glorieta MTB NMORS
10/13 Oak Flat CX, info coming soon
11/3 Lake CX at Glorieta Camps
9/10 Tuesday Gravel at Shirk St.
Everyone starts together @ 6:00 PM
No entry fee but if you could bring a donation of say $10 to cover my setup time, that would be cool.
Course: easy flat gravel/dirt road loop, 7-8 miles. You have to get off about four times to get over the anti-motorcycle gates. Otherwise more of a gravel grinder than a cyclocross. Note that at it will take you over half an hour to ride a loop if you are going at a cruiser/warmup pace, so if you want to preride and not miss the start, come early. I will try to have it marked by 5:15. We will do two laps.
Directions on a bike: Take the bosque bike path south past Rio Bravo around the curve to the east to 2nd. This is about 2mi. Take 2nd right (south) over the channel and another block to Shirk. Go right (west) 400ft to start.
Directions in a car: Exit I-25 on Rio Bravo and go west about a mile to 2nd. Take 2nd south about 2 miles. The first right after the diversion channel is Shirk. Go right (west) 400ft to start.
9/17 & 9/24 Tuesday CX at Pine Flat (South of Tijeras, NM.) 6:15PM
No entry fee but if you could bring a donation of say $10 to cover my setup time, that would be cool.
Directions/info: Take I-40 east from Albuquerque to the Tijeras exit, the road will "Y" right off the exit. Go right. (Left takes you to Sandia Peak) The road will curve to the right and come to a stoplight. There will be a Subway across the street on your right. Go straight on through the light and up NM337 for about 8 miles. Pine Flat is a USFS picnic area on the left. Large ~2 mi loop with some long runs and a long climb. Course will go between the Pine Flat and Deadman areas.
It is a bit of a drive but, (A) it is beautiful up there, (B) it is nice and cool for CX, (C) it is a cool and challenging course, and (D) we have been doing Tuesday CX up there at about this time for almost 20 years, so it is traditional.
10/1 6PM, 10/8 6PM, 10/15 5:45PM Tuesday CX at Hays in Bosque Farms
Entry fee $12, juniors free
Directions: Take I-25 South from Albuquerque to the NM47/ Broadway Exit (215). (There is some construction at Rio Bravo, but it clears up after that.) After the exit, go south 7 miles to Bosque Farms. Do not speed through the reservation near the casinos, there are almost always rez cops there. Turn Right on Esperanza at the Blake's Lottaburger. Go west (right) 1/4 mile to the farm.
Course: winds through the trees of Mr Hays' apple orchard and goes up onto the ditchroad for some fast bits. The cottonwoods should be turning yellow to add a nice backdrop. One of the most scenic courses we have. Mud is possible. There will be a NNMCX race here in January. Top finishers will probably win some of Mr Hay's honey.
I do not think there are any apples this year but you can buy honey if you get there before the shop closes at 5PM.
10/22 & 10/29 Tuesday CX at Sunnyslope
info TBA
General Info:
These will be insured through Insurance for Texans. USAC licenses, annual or one day, are not required. This means that they are a little easier to organize and a little cheaper.
Weather:
We will run these rain or shine, but promoter reserves the right to cancel or move the course in the event of severe inclement weather or other issues. If weather looks dodgy, I make a call if we are on or not at 4PM raceday, this will be posted on the website and to the bike-racers list.
What is this $5 administrative fee business?
Starting in with the 10/8/19 race, I will be charging a $5 once per year fee for any BCDracing. So you pay the $5 at the first Hawke Races event and you do and need not do so again until the beginning of my next insurance year, which will be the beginning of October 2019. This will include Tuesday or weekend races.
I buy my insurance per rider per year. So someone who shows up and does NMCX race or one crit costs me about $5. Someone who does like 20 races also costs me $5 for all the 20 races he does. My insurance costs went up about 40% this year as I had a lot of riders that just did one event. Also I think it is fairer, as it charges the riders in proportion to the way I get billed.
