PLEASE join us for another season of Renegade Cyclocross Practices in Des Moines. Practices will be held each Wednesday through the end of October.

THIS WEEK'S VENUE

MULLET's

NOTE: The venue has changed. We have had too much rain in the last two days and are not going to tear up Good Park. Mullet's has graciously allowed us to use the area in back of their establishment for the Cyclocross 101 clinic. This is a great opportunity for new crossers as we will have the clinic, the barriers, etc. and then a small course to test your new skills. Those who are experienced are still welcome to show up. Just know the course won't be very large. Get you limited edition "Renedage Cyclocross" shirts there too. Only 60 available. Once they're gone, they'r gone! (updated 9/1/10 10:00 am . Watch www.BIKEOWA.com/Cross for last minute info! NOTE: the time differences for the 1st practice:

• Cyclocross 101 clinic - 5:30pm - 6:15pm
• Renegade Practice - 6:15pm to 7:30 pm

On Sept 8th we will resume the normal 5:30pm start times for Renegade Practice. VIEW WEEK #1 BLOG POST We will meet at different venues each Wednesday. Watch the BIKEIOWA calendar for details each week!

Route

CYCLOCROSS 101

For the first Renegade Practice, we are having a 45 minute "Cyclocross 101" clinic from 5:30pm to 6:15pm. We will go over the basics of Cyclocross, and let you ask questions and practice before 'real' practice starts. This is highly recommended if you are new to cross. Find out more about Cyclocross here. At 5:30pm 6:30pm we'll start doing warm up laps, with a 45 to 60 minute "race" starting shortly after. Feel free to hone your own skills on certain parts of the course. This is your time to practice. The courses will be pretty simple, and not marked as though it's a UCI event, so if you're looking for something PRO, you're gonna be upset. We'll do your best to get some tight turns, off cambers, pavement, etc. These events will be AT YOUR OWN RISK!
