2015 Kansai Cyclocross at "Biwako Miami Land"

I have been seeing a lot of #crossiscoming in my Instagram feeds recently…and now it finally has come true. This last weekend was the season opener for Kansai Cyclocross. It was held at Miami Land beach which is located along Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. The event for me was a bit different then past races as this time I went not only to watch and take photos, but also to participate. It was definitely much more challenging then I expected, but it was also a TON of fun!  After having been bitten by the cross bug I can definitely say this won’t be my CX last race. #crossrules
