SORRY - tonight's practice is cancelled. Although we love muddy cyclocross races, we don't want to ruin the Capital City Cross course that will be held at the same venue in 3 weeks. 3.5 inches of rain in the last 24 hours is a bit much for the venue. Thanks for understanding.
CROSS
PLEASE join us for another season of Renegade Cyclocross Practices in Des Moines hosted by the BIKEIOWA Racing Team and other local team like Phoenix Syndicate, MidState Racing, Sakari/Smart Honda, Rassys, DMOS Racing Team and others.
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.

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!
