Last Friday night, some of the CX team headed north to race in the Santa Rosa Cup. A 3 day series that consisted of a night race, a reverse day race, and the third event on a fresh course, after some fresh rain. These moments where captured at the first night race. Bike Monkey has grown to support these fun races, and we are grateful for their efforts. Chelsea, Al, Eddy, Rainier, Dylan, and Walton came out, and put in work. Walton won the series for the Elite Men's A's. Chelsea took 3rd for the Elite Women's A's. Enclosed are some details from Friday night.
Cross weather is here.
The wide open sight lines meant no chase was ever really over.
These guys actually smacked racers in the head in an unpredictable way.
This corner was velcro at the beginning then got worked looser and looser, forcing riders to rethink their lines.
Hops.
Empty kegs created a maze of confusion with smoke, laser beams and cranked up music.
Bike party.
