Cyclepaths/Wild Cherries Racing

Another great cyclocross race in Tom Simonson's Bay Area Super Prestige series (BASP). This race was at Coyote Point, in San Mateo, CA, just south of SFO. Great turnout, great fun, lots of beer and heckling. I improved my finish from the first race (7th) and gained a lower rung on the podium (4th) in Master's 55+, while Rich Blanco finished 8th in Single Speed A. Glenn Rawlinson was absent but we hope to see him at the next event. Course was hard with lots of soft dirt and slow speeds including a sand pit. I put together this video which sums up the event better than any words I might attempt to write down...

Hey . . . get on out this Sunday October 19 for Truckee River Day, a great opportunity to contribute to the health and wellness of the local trail network and broader environment and community. More info and advance registration at the link below (or do day of show up/etc. instead!). Register yourself and identify that you're part of CWC Racing (even if you're not), so we get to work together!

Here's a video from the first BAPS cyclocross series in the Bay Area. CWC racers Paul McKenzie, 55+, Rich Blanco, Single Speed, and Glenn Rawlinson, 35+ A, competed. Rich was 3rd, Paul 7th, and Glenn about 15th after a few bobbles. Guitarist is Paul Sadoff of Rock Lobster, drummer is Alex ???. Great CX groove they have going! I hope to see them at future events.
