Cyclocross Day of the Dead Festival and Costume Race

2011-11-01T16:32:02.284Z

BEND, Ore - Some people take their cyclocross seriously and some people take their Halloween parties seriously. Now here's what happens when you combine both.

Nighttime clydesdale championship racing (that is human clydesdales - 200lb+ men and 160lb+ women) followed by a dance party with performances by wanderlust circus and Cumbia Band, El Raffa De Alaska at the Deschutes Brewery Warehouse.

Beginners and unicross racing started bright and early the next morning with probably more than a few hangovers in tow at the River City Bicycles Cyclocross Crusade race. Prizes were given to the costumes.

CrankMyChain! Cycle TV producer, Dan Kaufman, stepped away from the camcorder long enough to don a guitar, bicycle and elvis suit but he did manage to strap a camera to Robert Ping's seat post. Why was Dan racing robert Ping's bike when he has a perfectly good Cross Check? Well he doesn't have a perfectly good Cross Check anymore. More on that in another episode. But you can see pictures at the end of the Friday's Cyclocross Super D video.

A good time was had by all except a handful of not-so fancy pants Cat A racers like Molly Cameron who were too good to sport costumes but not good enough to beat costumed racers like Carl Decker and Adam Craig (who actually wore a green suit that completely covered his mouth and nose).

This CrankMyChain! Cycle TV video would not have happened if not for BicyclingHub.com , River City Bicycles http://www.RiverCityBicycles.com, Visit Bend http://www.VisitBend.com The Rebels http://www.myspace.com/rebelsrocknroll and, of course, all the Cyclocross Crusaders http://www.CrossCrusade.com

Thank you for watching and our apologies for all the good stuff we missed or just couldn't edit into this years video. Happy Halloween and Feliz Día de los Muertos!

Cross Crusade Halloween Costume Race 2010

2010-11-04T19:44:43.309Z

Astoria, Oregon - Cyclocross racers donned costumes for the annual Cross Crusade race. There was plenty of mud and sunshine - perfect condition for these big kids and their little ones to enjoy on Halloween day thanks to a storm the night before. But the rain storm did not dampen the annual party and campout. Here's a taste of the bike fun, Oregon Style.

Cyclocross Crusade Finale - There Will Be Mud

2008-11-20T09:31:05.285Z

Hillsboro, Ore. – The final race of the Season for River City Bicycle’s Cyclocross Crusade earned double points for the riders and you could tell by the way they were racing. Both the women’s and men’s category A races were very competitive with several lead changes each.

It was a fast and level course at the Washington County Fairgrounds but water from last weeks rain created a monster-slog section through the rodeo arena. I was able to cover the entire course on my bike and decided to ditch the tripod for the Men’s race and really concentrate on following the leaders as much as possible.

I pieced that footage together to create start-to-finish race video of the Men’s category A race and I’m interested to hear what you think about this type of coverage. Please make a comment on the video.

I want to River City Bicycles for sponsoring this video (not to mention being the title sponsor for this series and owner Dave Guettler came up with the title of the song for this video). My eternal gratitude and respect goes out to the Cyclocross Crusade promoters, sponsors, and all the officials from the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association.
