The Southern California Prestige Series of Cyclocross continues on Sunday November 28, 2010 with the 7th annual Gene Galindo Memorial Turkey Trot Cyclocross race to be held in Glendale’s Verdugo Park. If you’ve never seen a cyclocross race, you have to check it out. What is Cyclocross? It’s a discipline of bicycle racing that combines the fast, short-course, pack-style of road criterium racing with the skills of mountain bike racing. The bikes most people race look like road bikes with skinny, knobby tires. The race takes place on a twisty course approximately 1.8 miles in length which includes pavement, fire roads, sand, and grass. There are also “barriers” and short hills (“runups”) that force riders to dismount and carry their bikes up or over the obstacles. Racers in different categories race multiple laps of the course. And because the course is short, tight and twisty, spectators can stand in one place and see over half the course. Attendance is free and a day full of activities is planned. The action starts at 9 am. For more information, go to http://socalcross.org/events/scps-race-14/
