Panda Meet Monkey

Bike monkey, bikemonkey! The lads and lasses at Bikemonkey put on some great events (check out the Hopper) and CXSR is no exception.

Pandas took Master Bs by storm at CXSR this past weekend with Shaw ripping it up on a short coarse for the silver in 35+ Bs. Donahue started off well until an unseen bump caused his brakes to permanently brake. Despite this challenge, he was able to gets some assistance in the pits and continue the race. Rounding out the pandapodium was Dave taking third in 45+ Bs. Overall a fun and fast course - three minute laps, a race announcer providing authentic Belgian color commentating, beer tent and podium girls ensured this race was not only rider friendly, but fan friendly as well. Can’t wait to see what they do with the Cow Palace!



Johnson: Whew, great race! That was fun – super fast on the backside.

VdB: So superfast then why you finish on the backside of the pack?

Johnson: Whoa VdB, that’s uncalled for. I was going for dollar grabs, and there were some technical sections near the bridge. Beside, the official results are off, I was not counted on a lap. Had a great time out there, gave it my all.

VdB: I know, they sent some of it back saying it smelled like oude gymzaal sokken uit een scheet gezicht slak. Now go get me a beer, I think you can manage since there are no barriers leading up to the tent.
