Over the weekend of the 24th and 25th of October we headed to Flagstaff for the opening 2 races of the Arizona Cyclocross season. Cyclocross is another style of bike racing usually taking place in a park. It is both off and on road and takes place on road bikes with a little thicker tires to allow for grip when off road. It happens to be my favorite style of racing, but we do not have very many races in our season so one cannot focus on just that.
The races in Flag took place at Sinagua High School. Near the start/finish area was a giant hill and the Boy saw it immediately upon his arrival. He needed help getting his bike up there but just hopped on and rode right down first try. Below is a slideshow of one of his attempts later in the day. After the racing was done on Sunday he asked if we could take a lap of the course. He did a great job and when we got to the big hill he wanted to go again. He pushed his bike up there, mounted it, and just bombed down the hill one last time. You can see by the ear to ear grin he is sporting that it was just as much fun as it was the innumerable times preceding this one.
