2023 was a real good time. Let's do it again. Regi

A gift from the Fates, or just a quirk of the Greg

A gift from the Fates, or just a quirk of the Gregorian calendar? Either way, you get *two* cyclocross doubleheader weekends in Richmond this year. It'll be a party in the front, with a slightly more serious party at Gillies in the back. Saturday, November 30th, sometime in the morning, somewhere on the Southside. Pray for mud. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. ⚔️🦃

Southside Hustle 4: a thing that definitely happen

Southside Hustle 4: a thing that definitely happened.

🔹 A top secret early bird crew of 10 set off from Pony Pasture at 6 a.m., fending off Mud Mart boogeymen and GPS ghosts to clear the spiderwebs for the rest of us. 5 of this group persevered to the finish, including @alaud1702, our top woman finisher 👑

🔸 A couple hours later, 25 or so rolled from the official 8:30 start and were pretty much immediately smashed to bits. After 5 miles, a lead group of four formed coming out of The Pit and never looked back, shedding individuals one-by-one until we had three solo riders spread out at the front. @n0ahr0berts had the lead but pit stopped for lunch and hit some '23 Hustle bonus trails before rejoining the route, allowing @chilliamxvx to take the front and reach Pony Pasture about 10 minutes before Noah. Both of these dudes earned a cap for their efforts on the day along with Abigail, and all three will have $100 donated in each of their names to our friends at @richmondcyclingcorps. We'll be in touch with caps whenever USPS gets around to delivering them 🤷‍♂️

🔹 Behind, a solid grupetto ebbed and flowed between 5 and 12 riders and kept a spicy pace through hills, crashes, mechanicals, and truly epic mud in the Magnolia Megasite (this is likely the last year we can use that stretch due to the recently in progress construction and it certainly went out in style). A brutal headwind continued to whittle the group down with 4 completing the whole route to the finish (= 12 total finishers on the day for those keeping track).

Thanks to everyone for coming out and for keeping the vibes high through a tough day in the cuts!

PS: If you took the start yesterday and didn't get a spoke card (or need a replacement), hit us up!

Thanks to @falsehope_rva for the photo!

See you Saturday.

See you Saturday.

We may still be waking up from a wicked R.A.T. han

Route is up at the profile link. See you next Sund

200+ miles of alleys but not all of them can make

Time to let the R.A.T. chew its way out of the bag

Time to let the R.A.T. chew its way out of the bag. Inspired by mad genius Paul Workman's original Roanoke version - "a cycling experience like no other" - we're stoked to bring this monstrosity of a ride to Richmond... a RiVAh RAT, if you will. Paul's route has only been completed 6 times, and with good reason: it's insane. Expect to lose your sense of time, place, and self as you adventure through well over 100 miles of city alleys. It will be cold. It will be tough. It will be dirty. If you're lucky, you might meet a rat.

More details to follow. 🐀

Stoked for a fun little CX pop-up practice led by @r3vots this Sunday morning. He leads the drills, you practice skills, we bring the... croizills. Nope, that doesn't work.

Most probably our worst idea yet.
