CrossFix

CrossFix: v.: To race cyclocross on a fixed gear bike

Cyclocross: A cycling discipline involving very intense and very fast laps of a mixed terrain course. Cyclocross usually involves dismounting the bike and hurdling obstacles or running up steep sections of stairs, dirt, grass, sand, gravel and mud. It also often involves being completely covered in dirt, sand, grass, sweat and mud, and sometimes even beer and/or vomit.

Fixed Gear: The bike has only one gearing, with no freewheel. If the wheels are moving, the pedals are moving. If the pedals stop, the wheels stop.

This blog is transitioning from a place to geek out on bike stuff to a race portfolio. I'll be posting a lot more training and racing related info, along with the obligatory bike porn and events from the cycling world.

  • 2011 Cyclocross Season Schedule

    Sep. 11th - Pain & Sufferin’ - Never liked this race, too hot, dry and dusty. The only good thing about it is the view, and the potential for Crusade Call-Ups. Stayed home and played with my daughter instead.

    Sep. 17th & 18th - GPMC: Hood River Double Cross

    Sep. 25th - Battle at Barlow

    Sep. 28th - Blind Date at The Dairy #1

    Oct. 5th - Blind Date at The Dairy #2

    Oct. 8th - GPMC: Heiser Farms - Dayton, OR

    Oct. 9th - Cross Crusade #2: Rainier HS - This might as well be a different league, a different series. Rainier/Clatskanie are so far out there, and so far from everything else going on. I’m skipping this race, too.

    Oct. 12th - Blind Date at The Dairy #3

    Oct. 15th - GPMC: Ninkrossi - Washougal, WA

    Oct. 16th - Cross Crusade #3: PIR

    Nov. 13th - Cross Crusade #8: PIR II

    Nov. 19th/20th - SSCXWC - Golden Gate Park, SF - If this race wasn’t $52 per event to enter, and so far away, I’d do it. Next year, no excuses. This year, I’m focusing on local races and a manageable season.
