This time at the Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships in Golden Gate Park. The only rule in this race is that you have to ride a bike with only one gear and aside from that there are no other rules. It was super fun, ridiculous and crazy!

Here’s the awesome quadcopter video of the event

I noticed it hovering in the air that day and wondered what it was doing there. When I’m at a race, all I see is dust, dirt and gravel, so it’s pretty neat to see what it all looks like from above.

Some friends and I did a cyclocross race on saturday in the pouring rain. It was ridiculously muddy.

I did my last big race of the cyclocross season on sunday and it was super fun! I’d never done any kind of racing before this year so I’m happy that I survived it. Here’s a video I shot of the day out at coyote point. (my team is the one decked out in crazy floral skinsuits. We won the prize for wearing the “most offensive cycling attire this guy has ever laid eyes on.” woot!)

The most important prize though was the bacon!

So this is what I subjected myself to yesterday! dirt riding, hill scrambling, barrier hopping, and log jumping. Yes it looks silly. It was fun! well at least the post riding / scrambling part of the day…the actual racing was painful. ouchies all over.
