   Cyclocross       ( email contact cyclocross director Brian France  
 

  • Races: The goal is to do well as a team at the best cyclocross rider/ team (BCR/BCT) events. These races are listed on the ACA website. The BCR/BCT races in September are:

    9/13 Pikes Peak SuperCross #1 in Colorado Springs

    9/14 Brecktobercross In Breckenridge (Oktoberfest is in town that day..Beer)

    9/21 Green Mountain Sports Cross #1 Denver (sponsor race!)

    Another great CX venue is the 9/27 Boulder CX Series at Interlocken, east of the Flatirons Mall

  • Clinic: We had TER's 2008 cyclocross clinic. The weather was great and we found some mud. Hup! Hup!

  • Training:

    Running: Try to include 2 running workouts per week. One 30 minutes the other 20-30 minutes with intervals (hill repeats or track sprints)

    Riding: Work on sprints and starts. Also under-over intervals will help with the intensity of CX racing. Ride just below threshold for 3min then all out for 2 min and back to just below threshold and repeat. This will simulate race efforts during a short power climb or other obstacle.

    Contact: Contact  Brian France with any questions, suggestions and to RSVP for the clinic.

  
   Road Training       ( email contact road racing directors Robin Waterman or Chris Porter)  
 

  • Weekend training:

    Saturday: rides will be "show and go". This means that everyone should feel free to show up at Morrison and Rooney Rds, ready to ride by 9 am. Whoever is there can choose the route.

    Sundays: There is a ride organized by the Team Evergreen Club. All TER racers should consider joining in on these rides, as their training and racing schedule permits. Route and start times are listed on the TE website.

  • Boulder training ride - "Sunday Morning Fruit Loops" - Leaving from Downtown Boulder at the corner of 18th and Pearl Street in front of Full Cycle Bikes, we will head North on HWY 36 to Lyons, do a little scenic loop in Lyons, then head East for another loop of some farmland, and head back into boulder on N 75th Street. Total Distance is about 50 miles. Information?  Contact Jimmy Walter
