Proteus Bikes’ Super Bowl of Singlespeed may have been pushed back a week but that does not mean there will be no cyclocross racing in the Nation’s Capital this Sunday. Tim Rugg (Battley Harley/Sonoma) and Justin “Rez” Resnick (District Velocity/The Bike Rack) are not going to let the forecasted 36 to 360 inches of snow stop them from racing.
Before we get the details of what these guys have planned, I have to say I’m a little worried that Rez is spearheading this effort. As we saw way back in September, slippery surfaces are not always his forte. For those that may have missed it, here’s a recap.
And now for deets on this Sunday courtesy of Tim and Rez:
WOOH SNOW CROSS!! Spread the word, this is gonna be AAAAWESOME.
We could use some extra orange sport cones to set up the courses so please bring some if you have them!
Newbies, spectators, hecklers, snowball throwers, and photographers welcome!
