Beer Hand-Ups...

We''re searching for a few noble volunteers that would be psyched to hangout in the dark for an hour or two. Your job would be simple; Heckle the riders, Be loud and obnoxious, provide beer hand-ups and a few other unmentionable tasks that would make you glow with pure awesomeness.

Plans are underway, way underground...

As we are planning the Pirate cXc Winter Night Race Series, we want you to know that things are in the works and things are gonna be epic. This will be the race series that campfire storeis are born from, that men are forged through and only the hardcore survive. We are going to put your riding, mental and physical skills to the test. You and/or your bike might end up broken (enter evil laugh here). However, it will be an awesome experience with the best of the best.

Dates are coming soon... Get psyched.

Pirate cXc...

Pirate cXc is an undereground race series designed to link the end of Cyclocross race season and the beginning of Cross Country race season. For those who want to race year round the Pirate cXc will keep you psyched, keep you training and provide a transition from CX to XC, all while having fun and doing a totally different style of race. Pirate cXc merges the two disciplines.
What do we mean by totally different style of race? First thing’s first; Both CX and XC style bikes/racers are welcome. Each course will be designed to allow both riding styles equal advantage and/or disadvantage. Courses will be a combination of single track, double track, pavement, dirt, mud, snow and grass. Obstacles will be many; Logs, sand, barriers and skills oriented types of ‘objects’. Races will be lap races. Races will be at night, requiring all participants to have lights. Races are coming soon, this winter; prepare for pain.
Pirate cXc is a show-and-go style, no red tape B.S., no license required type deal.  All courses are designed to reach epic status; we don’t want any girly-boys at these races. Expect to get your ass handed to you.
Dates and times coming soon. Courses will not be available for preview until race night. All participants will meet, gear-up then do a neutral roll-in to the course. One-lap pre-ride then it’s time for racing. There may or may not be separate classes. There may or may not be a time bonus for obstacles completed (in the saddle). There will be awards. There will be shenanigans. Winter is a time for getting crazy…and that’s exactly what we plan to do.
Are you game?
