Last minute info…
Hola! This years event is shaping up to be the biggest and best ever. Here’s some more race day information for everyone.
- Bandido Cross is on! Cyclocross is a fall/winter sport, and winter is here. Races run no matter what.
- First time riding in snow or first cyclocross race? We would suggest a few things.
- Lower your tire pressure. The turns are slippery in spots, and your cornering will improve. Just ask us for suggestions.
- Dress warm – hands, feet, head. Ski helmets are great, ski gloves, an extra layer of socks. High of 27 degrees.
- Slow down, take it easy. You’ll see what we mean in a few hours.
- Guided lap – 11 AM. We’ll all do a course preview lap at 11 am. More experienced riders will help you out with lines, obstacles, techniques.
- Really Racing – Noon. 40 Minutes
- Single Speed Clydesdales Named Cole: 12:40 for 40 minutes
- Not Really Racing – 12:40:30 for 40 minutes
- Kids: They are welcome to ride with parents or can go by themselves.
- Course clean-up: We just need to pull up the course tape and poles.
- Awards and Knighting Ceremony: All first time Bandido Cross riders will be honorably inducted into our proud ranks. Let us know at check in that it’s your first time.
- Adjourn to Barnett and Sons: Located 5 minutes away at 18425 Pony Express Dr, Parker, CO 80134, they are donating $1 per pint to Project Recycle. We’ll get warm there!
If you’ve never been to Bandido Cross…
- This is unsanctioned. We have no timing, scoring, referees. We do have expectations, not rules:
- If you’re Really Racing – Total honor system. You fast riders know who you are and will keep track of each other. Be gentlemen and gentleladies, good sports and tolerant. You may be hit with a marshmallow or two. Let me know the winner.
- If you’re not Really Racing – Get rowdy, have fun, be safe and helpful. Stay in control, know when to say when.
- Cleanup – Help us keep this park ready for CX. The Town of Parker and Parks and Rec has been amazing to this event. Grab some trash, pick up / clean up. Pack it in, pack it out.
- This is all about good friends, getting outside in the winter, having a good time.
- Thank you! This started as 12 people in a backyard. Your spirit and passion has made this what it is. Viva Bandidos!
