2016 Kansai Cyclocross at "Biwako Miami Land"
Round six of Kansai Cyclocross was held this past Sunday in
Miami land at Lake Biwako in Shiga. The name “Miami land” evokes images of art deco buildings,
long glamorous sandy beaches, bikinis, supercars…and above all “Sonny and Rico”…right? Well, the “long and sandy” beach part is spot
on as any CX racer who has ridden there before can attest to. I started my first CX race there previously,
and it was definitely an eye opener to say the least. Regardless, I was hooked
and decided to try some more. Unfortunately
a bum knee has kept me out of this year’s CX races, but that didn’t stop me
from going as I hooked up with KCDC and Michael to get a ride over to Shiga to
watch and shoot a few photos. Needless to say it was a great day of meeting up
with old and new friends as well as taking in all the great action. Already can’t
wait until next time!
