For anyone who hasn’t paid attention to the SoCal cyclocross scene, it deserves recognition for its tremendous growth and creative events. With races combined with running and mountain bike races, free clinics, relays and social events, series director Dorothy Wong and her supporters have grown cyclocross in an area that might have the most untypical cyclocross weather.
This weekend the series continues with Krosstoberfest, and offers free clinics and a relay race both days, free junior racing, discounts on doing both days, plus a dinner social Saturday evening. If cyclocross in your area is getting a bit stale, take note of the SoCal scene to see what can be done to spice up cyclocross in your area. Official press release below.
