About the Old Fashioned CX Series.
A long time ago, before gravel bikes or mountain bikes, when the weather got chilly, bike racers would ride whatever bike they had through the woods, across the fields and down little dirt lanes. Sometimes there would be steep hills or fallen logs where they would have to get off their bikes and carry them. And, since they were bike racers, they started setting up little loops and racing around them. It was fun. This was the beginning of cyclocross. I feel that the UCI with all their rules (even if they be well meaning) have kind of lost contact with this aesthetic. This series attempts to preserve this "old fashioned" cyclocross aesthetic of just riding around through whatever happens to be out there. So what should I expect to be different VS a normal modern cyclocross race? I will try to design courses that favor cyclocross bikes over mountain bikes or road bikes. Considerable sections of the courses will be less than 3m wide, hurdles will more likely be a just a few logs thrown across the trail, and there will probably be more running with the bike than most CX races. You can ride any type of bike or tires you think best for the course. This year all the races will have one combined start and race for about 1hr, this is also kind of old school cyclocross. None of the races are USAC so you do not need a license, but there are no official USAC upgrade or ranking points earned. Be sure you have fresh sealant, for Hubble especially. It has been a bumper goathead year. I hope you can make it out, and that you think it's fun. Bikes: You can ride any bike and any tire width you wish, as long as the only motor is you. Course: A big beautiful course with a mix of everything, a little pavement, grass, dirt, sand, and a fair bit of running. Near the only waterfall on the Rio Grande in the Albuquerque area. About 3mi lap. GPS file of te course <here> |
Format:
We will do a full neutral lap starting at 1PM. I am guessing a practice lap will be about 15-20 mins. Practice lap is not mandatory but is recommended. Note that this is an informal cyclocross, not a real race, just a fast group ride on public trails. We could never get a permit to use this course for a real race.
Directions:
From 528 and 448 (the north end of Corrales Rd.) go east about .75mi to where the road starts to curve south to Corrales. There will be a dirt road on your left, take it about a mile to the end and park. Start/Finish will be in the grassy park called Trailhead Park. Google Placemark.
Online Registration:
We will use Google Forms for registration. It does not cost anything to preregister. You can donate online or at the race via cash, check or card. I am not going to charge late fees but please try to sign up by 11:59PM on Saturday 2/11/23.
1/6/24 signup here, just fill in your info on the spreadsheet. Please sign up by midnightnight of 1/5/24. There will be a 10/ rider minimum.

Entry Fees:
No entry fee but if you could pitch in a suggested donation of $20 for making the course, website, scoring, etc, that would be cool.
