You've heard of cyclocross aka CX...would you like to join our band of Jills trying it out this season?
Cyclocross is held in the winter, combining mountain biking with steeple-chasing. The Bike Monkey team puts together great events, and proceeds benefit local nonprofits, including the wonderful Sonoma County Bike Coalition and Bicycles for Humanity. Even if you don't sign up, you can mark the date to check out the fun. And Women and kids under 9 can race for free at the February 13 event!
Don't want to go it alone? Check out our group at the link below. We've put together a casual "team" of Jills who can train together and try it out - just to have fun (and maybe stay in shape during the winter months.)

The camaraderie was great. The thing that I still love is that there are so many little goals you can set along the way. This year, it was just completing the race, but now it's so cool, there are lots of ways to challenge yourself.
