Such an incredible past weekend of Cyclocross racing!
Nor-Cal CX gets Cross fired up in steamy San Jose.
CCCX throws out super circuit at Toro Park.
Sacramento Series goes big and Cross crazy in Orangevale.
Big news from Nor-Cal is the incredible run of current
Masters World Champion Henry Kramer(Cal. Giant Inc.) to open up the 2013 season.
World Champion Henry Kramer shadowed by Keith DeFiebre at Toro Park...
Wearing the coveted UCI World Champion jersey at each race puts a huge bulls-eye on Kramer's back each time he takes the start line on the front row. Yet Kramer simply goes about his business of wearing the World Champion jersey proper and wins! Kramer is undefeated for 2013 making for one of the best openings to a season in recent history of Northern California Cross racing. Only time will tell as to whether Kramer can continue his run of success. But recognition of this winning run is a must...
Rachael Lloyd is currently unstoppable...
Another Nor-Cal superstar who has not yet been topped regionally is a rider who I featured last week, Rachael Lloyd(DFL). Lloyd is back on the Cross bike and thus forces all Women of Northern California to get in gear or get out of the way. Lloyd does not show mercy when she takes to course. Her strength, skill and speed do the talking and if your not up to par you will be left far behind. So awesome seeing Lloyd doing what she does best, race Cyclocross!
I hope she continues her progression and regains her world class form for Northern California Cyclocross fans to watch and admire.
Cougar's take to Cross San Jose style...
San Jose Cougar Cyclocross went great for the Nor-Cal CX Series opener.
CX Magazine's ANDREW YEE is backing the series with his strong support and knowledgeable advice and the fantastic Cross racing will surely continue
for all as this series progresses.
Super Pro style zig zags on San Jose slopes...
Congratulations to super pro Murphy Mack and his cool crew for making hot San Jose just right for Super Pro Nor-Cal CX. It was a hard & fun course and boasted elevation changes that made the affairs correct toward election of who was best of class.
Cross racing is rad and it should be hard at times,
so don't be shy...
Race Cyclocross!
Cyclocross as done by Alicia Hilderbrand(Trek CxC)...
CCCX @ Toro Park showed what is best in Nor-Cal CX. Green grass, sand sections, dips, drops, tree jumps, long straights, tight turns and some nice elevation changes.
So much to offer at this venue... fun riding and fast racing.
Race Cyclocross!
AJM wins BIG again at CCCX and seems to be finding incredible form...
Orangevale was outstanding for the Sacramento Cyclocross Series. A new location for this series, but the same old good times racing Cyclocross. Orangevale is another fine place to race Cyclocross in Northern California. Check out this cool Ariel Video of the Orangeville course. Very cool location to race Cross and very cool video of the Sac. Town crew doing there thing.

Lastly, if you are near Truckee, the Sagebrush Cyclocross Series at the Truckee Bike Park should not be missed! Any time you can mix a Bike Park and Cyclocross the combined equation can only produce big time fun on two wheels.
Berms, rollers and ramps of the Truckee Bike Park await the Sagebrush Cyclocross racers.
