Pacific Cycling is part of a team out of Pacific Swim Bike Run, a local bike shop in Stamford known for primarily road and triathlon racing.
But this past season, team members decided to branch out and try something new and different.
The team of six men, ages 22 to 48, live in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich and New York City. They hold weekly practice sessions in Harbor Point and plan on racing every weekend throughout the cyclocross season.
Cyclocross is a form of bicycle racing that typically take place in the fall and winter. It consists of many laps of a short course featuring pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles that require the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike while navigating the obstruction and remount.
