October 18th was a beautiful day for cyclocross on the 2,000 acres of land at Prado Park in Chino Hills for the Velocity Cross race hosted by SoCalCross. The course was a rolling terrain of grassy fields, mixed with a little bit of dirt and asphalt, with 1 “step-up” and 1 barrier for the cyclists to conquer.

The races were timed circuits on the course for each category, so the racer’s moves were very fast and very strategic. The top prizes for the Elite categories went to Amanda Nauman sporting team SDG – Muscle Monster for the women and Brandon Gritters with Rock n Road/Big Red Coaching for the men’s category.

You can check the full results here. As usual, the organizers put together a really fun event. Look out for the Anza Crossing race on November 8th – it’s an exciting watch.

CicLAvia: Open Streets Event In Downtown Los Angeles

Los Angeles holds the honor of hosting the largest community open-streets event in the United States, and this past month’s 5th anniversary of the event was no different. CicLAvia, a play on the South American tradition of closing streets to cars and only allowing human-powered traffic, brought out bicycles of all shapes and stripes. We saw the standard two wheel, the trusty three wheel, and of course the rare instance of one wheel. No human-powered mode of transportation was denied access, and we saw many paws on the road too. CicLAvia is THE example of how this type of event can be run successfully in a metropolis.

The One Way Ride to Mexico

The One Way Ride Program officially began in 2012, but these men have been carrying on this tradition for over a decade. It all started after the 2001 Rosarito to Ensenada ride when local resident Raymond “Randy” Kiefer and his riding partner, Hank Williamson, generously gave away their bicycles to two local teenage boys who were hanging around the finish line watching the riders come in.
