Mountain bike racing!

// February 9th, 2012 // 3 Comments » // Races

Weird. 2 years ago, I would never have thought about riding dirt. Then I got a cross bike. Now…I sit here about to head off to a training ride for the 2nd event in DORBA’s 2012 Frozen Endurance Series on Feb 18:

Boulder Park Frozen Endurance

I’ll be in the 4 hour men’s solo event.

IC3 Spoke Director Todd Gillman will be manning the tent to give shade, rest and fellowship to all that stop by. Please come out and watch/cheer for all competitors (this isn’t CycloCross…no heckling!)

Horse Country TT, 2011

// December 7th, 2010 // 6 Comments » // Races

We are working to make the call on whether or not we run the HCTT again in 2011. As always the big issue is having enough people to put on a quality race.

Will you help? We need stagers, registration, setup/teardown, refreshments, and “ad-hoc” folks. Hilltop church members have our road marshall duties covered.

Please comment here or send me an email: Kevin@DallasDBAs.com

Thanks!

Come join us on September 19 in Greenville, TX for the Cotton Patch Challenge!

Whether you race, rally or spectate this is the target ride for IC3 for the month of September. We will likely have a tent somewhere around the festivities with our banner hanging from it. Come visit with us in the shade!

Volunteer opportunities!

// June 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Races

There are two upcoming events that could use a person just like you!

1.  The Collin County Classic ride June 13 has a rest stop being manned by Christian radio station Power 89.7 FM.  They could use some additional folks to help out.  Click here for more details: http://www.kvrk.com/cycling.html

2.  IC3 North Texas is putting on a USAC sanctioned Criterium on July 11.  This is an all day affair.  We need volunteer help to set up on Friday afternoon, help with the clinics on Friday evening and help run the race on Saturday.  Please email Kevin@DallasDBAs.com if you are able to help.  The race is at the Cooper Fitness facility in Craig Ranch (McKinney, TX).

Thanks!

Tuesday night racing!

// March 31st, 2009 // No Comments » // Races

A staple of the North Texas racing scene has returned for 2009.  This criterium series has been running for at least 15 years that I know of, maybe even 20 or more.  Every Tuesday night in Plano, racers from elite to first-timers gather for 30-60 minutes of “go fast, turn right.”

There are three races: A, B and C…details are provided at: DallasCrit.com

IC3 member Michael will be racing in the C race from time to time in his McKinney Velo kit, and Kevin (DallasBikr) is in the B race most weeks in his IC3 jersey.

Crit racing is extremely spectator friendly, so come on out and watch, cheer or jeer!

Thanks,

Horse Country Time Trial

// February 26th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Races

We are about 10 days out from the first running of the Horse Country Time Trial for 2009.  This is our 3rd year to run the event and March is part of a 3-race High School weekend as well as being the opening event of the Texas Cup Regional competition for the North region.

We can always use volunteers of any age, cyclist or not.  Even a 10 year old can clap for the racers as they finish.  Men or couples…we can use corner marshalls to keep cars and bikes from running over each other.  I can train you in 5 minutes :)

Let me know if you can help out!

Thanks,

DB
