Sandy Point, Random Pictures, Late Season 2021

Last weekend, I traveled to Boise to meet Dan and Shae for the end-of-season SICX cyclocross races at Sandy Point. It was a fine event--fun, well organized, and a great way to wrap up the season. Shae won the women's race on Saturday without a great deal of difficulty and came as a spectator on Sunday. The Sandy Point course is almost entirely on grass with lots of little climbs and three sand pits per lap plus the addition of some beach sand on Sunday. I am not the biggest fan of sand but generally liked the course and felt like the sand worked well within the context.

In the early years of this blog, we posted a lot of content. Some of it was filler, but it also featured a lot of original content and reporting on local events. Over the past couple of years, it has been difficult to sustain a similar level of content. My apologies to our handful of dedicated readers. I am grateful to everyone who has shared stories and pictures on the Rexburg Cycling blog and Facebook page as well as to Jeff, Kellen, Joe, and Dawn for their administrative support.

The mild fall weather of 2021 has been phenomenal for late season cycling with the road, gravel, and MTB seasons extending well into December. At this point however, I am looking forward to some serious winter with fat biking and skate skiing. Weather and fate permitting, the TNR is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, March 15th.
