We are pulling the plus on tonight's practice. With all the rain today and a 75% chance of rain at 5:30pm, we don't want to tear up the park.
Thanks for being flexible!
CROSS
PLEASE join us for another season of Renegade Cyclocross Practices in Des Moines hosted by the BIKEIOWA.com Cycling Team.
All Practices will be held at Stone Park each Tuesday through the end of October. The course will be different each week.
Show up. Warm Up. Ride at your own pace. Organized laps start at 5:45 pm for those interested.
Unless the ground is completely saturated with water or there is a big storm, practices will be held rain or shine.
Watch
BIKEIOWA.com/CROSS,
Facebook and
Twitter for up-to-date info.
Renegade Cyclocross Practices are held AT YOUR OWN RISK!
We do ask you sign a waiver at your first practice.RENEGADE CYCLOCROSS
This will be a training race, bike practice,
or whatever else you kids want to call it. No entry fees, no prizes, no
official results. Please understand the word "race" is used loosely.
What
it WILL be is a great opportunity to get some intensity in, practice
barriers, run-ups and other cyclocross skills and ride against guys of
varying abilities.
This makes it a GREAT chance for newer riders to gain some confidence and have some fun,
while the experienced guys get a good workout and pass on some
knowledge. Above all, it's a good reason to ride cross bikes with
friends. Cool?
BEGINNERS WELCOME!
This IS the place to learn! Find out more about Cyclocross, the courses, and the bike set-up at
