Hart Park Cyclocross previews Showdown in January!

Sunday was race #16 of 22 on the Southern California Prestige Series of Cyclocross calendar and the first to Kern County.  The die-hard crossers made the trek as far away as San Diego and the local cross scene in the region brought many new faces to the scene.

It was a great day of racing in Bakersfield Sunday with chilly conditions many of us SoCalCrossers were not used to.  Leg warmers were a popular choice for the early races and during warm ups.  But the chill became un-noticed once the racing began and the battles heated up on course.  Sam Ames and the Kern Wheelman created an event of feel good cyclocross no matter how much the epic-ly steep run ups hurt.  The design tested our turning skills with a couple of off camber sections, and tested our climbing and run up lungs and legs.   A great tune up to build on for those heading to Nats as well as leading into the holiday break.  AND, a preview for the Series Finale and Nor Cal So Cal Showdown 1/21-22/2012.  Many new faces made it to the top of the podium.  Look for detailed race report by Dave at Outside All Day for the elite men and women’s races.
