This weekend is packed with events, including the Kansai CX Prologue, the Nobeyama Test Cross, and the Hirata Criterium. A few riders from CRC will be participating, so please cheer them on if you see them.
As for the weekend, for those of you who don't have any specific plans or want to get some solid training in ahead of the upcoming cross season, I've incorporated a dirt climb section into this ride.
Date/Time: 9/29 (Sun) 7:30 AM
Meeting Point: FamilyMart in front of Owari-Seto Station
There's only one dirt section, but it's quite tough.
A CX bike is recommended. If you're on a road bike, use something durable around 28c.
Since there's a possibility of trouble like sidewall cuts, please make sure you each bring spare tubes and tire boots.
I'll be riding my CX bike with Paris-Roubaix 27c tires.
My bike prep for cross is also going well. (If I had to say, my physical preparation is lagging a bit behind.)
