The forecast looks dubious, only 2 people have signed up and I woke up feeling quite ill today, so unfortunately this ride is being cancelled. Scott has promised a similar style of ride next weekend!
Cyclocross season is here, so come on out and test your skills and anaerobic power on some sand traps and punchy climbs. We’ll be doing a giant loop of the city with the goal of hitting every beach volleyball court. Bring money for a coffee stop (@Flow State in Arkell). Tail lights are a good idea, as are tires that are on the knobbly side (slicks not recommended). Note the 10:00 am start. Zoom in on the map below for all off the little squiggles that show the locations of the punchy climbs and sand traps.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
