Cyclocross course and cyclocross racer carrying bike

🚴‍♂️ Weekly Cyclocross Series
What is Cyclocross? Cyclocross is like a cross between road biking, mountain biking, and steeplechase. (And what is steeplechase? Steeplechase is like a cross between running, hurdling, and jumping in puddles. Just kidding, kind of, we love our steeplechasers.) From their website: “Our courses are fun, challenging, and mixes in classic style with run-ups, flyovers, and of course barriers.” They say no need for fancy bikes or even a specific type of bike, mountain bikes should be fine, and kids race free!
Oak Canyon Jr High | 5:15pm, 5:30pm, 6:10pm | More info

📰 Forum: David French
NY Times Columnist, author, and war veteran, David French, will be speaking at the forum today. In his book “Divided We Fall: America’s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation" David French “warns of the potential dangers to the country—and the world—if we don’t summon the courage to reconcile our political differences.” Source
