Welcoming more than 3,000 competitors and spectators, River City Bicycles Cross Crusade held a cyclocross event at Villebois on October 12, 2008. The Cross Crusade course traversed the hills and construction zones in and around the new Villebois Village Center, with various categories of riders racing at different intervals throughout the day. The event started with the “Beginners” category at 9 a.m. and ended around 4 p.m. with the “Category A Men and Masters Category A 35+”.
An increasingly popular sport amongst bicycle enthusiasts, a cyclocross race is typically comprised of several laps around a short course between 1.5 and 2 miles in length. Throughout the course, riders generally must negotiate through a complex combination of pavement, gravel, grass, steep hills and other obstacles. Riders must possess honed skills when it comes to maneuvering their bikes and having the ability to dismount quickly and carry their bikes through rough terrain.
The cyclocross course set up at Villebois made for an entertaining day for both participants and spectators alike. We had a lot of fun watching the cyclists navigate the course…and judging by most of their reactions, they did too!
It was great to see the turnout of both Portland-area residents and current Villebois homeowners alike. We hope to hold events like this in the future. For more information about how you can participate in community events please contact me today at Blog@CostaPacific.com or 503.855.4661.
