[b][Ipswich Cyclocross (Queensland CX Champs)](http://www.briztreadley.com/event/ipswich-cyclocross-queensland-cx-champs/)[/b]
Ipswich Cycling Club, driven on by the indefatigable Scott Kirton, will hold its third annual cyclocross event. And this year you can become a State Champ!!
Venue: Jim Finimore Park, Old Toowoomba Rd, Leichhardt.
I called up the organisers and they said cross bikes would be fine. I am going to do a bit of a reconnaissance of Underwood park soon to have a look. I will let you all know - either way I will be racing the next event on the 18th.
Seems like some of the mountain bike clubs have taken us poor unorganised Queensland cyclocrossers under their wings and have provided us with a few races.
Brisbane South MTB Club 1st April @ Springwood - CX bike approved course, I will be in D grade.
Brad, were you on the Crux wearing the matching Panasonic jersey? We were the guys near the start giving you a cheer for riding the CX.
We had some mates racing there today and went to have a look before we headed off to Daisy for our own ride.
Have been reluctant to take up these races, but i guess it would be fun to do it on the CX bike, the mtbers would take pity on me- at least I can be assured that I will be last, and wish I was riding the 29er dually
May come along to the next one.
The race at Walloon will involve different landscape to that at Priestdale.
Priestdale had ruts from water run-off that were 1/2 a foot deep in many places, and a climb from the low point on the course that had roots and bits of stump spray painted hi-viz in amongst those ruts. It was tough to get any momentum there. (There is youtube of the circuit)
Really felt like I’d turned up to a ditch-digging contest with a trowel; and my gearing may have been suitable for the Ipswich race but most of the competitors kept it close to granny gear for the ride.
