tubs on tubs superduper prestige 2022

September 2, 2022

I returned to cyclocross in 2022, and went back to the same race in the same park. I’m not sure if that makes this a classic or not.

I’d tested this course beforehand. My house is just across the river from the “indestructible Strathcona Science Park”¹ so this was where I’d been riding up and down hills and practicing my off-cambers the week before.

strathcona science park

September 1, 2022

Strathcona Science Park is a provincial park just outside Edmonton. It’s rutted and full of gopher holes and apparently has toxic seepage in places. There’s no sandy area but it does have a big downhill with long stairs for a runup.

This is my “home course” because I used to live just across the river, so it’s a convenient place to practice my cx race techniques, do laps to build my stamina and just generally rip around.
