There's riding your bike and then there's cyclocross. If you're in Milwaukee and you like to get down and dirty on your bike, there's a place for people like you:
Typical cyclocross courses are 1.5- to 2-mile loops on a mix of paved and off-road surfaces over flat-to-rolling terrain. You can expect to come across short, steep (often muddy) pitches, which are nearly impossible to ride. There can be intimidating drop-offs, river crossings and technical singletrack, too. Crank Daddy’s uses BG FIT DATA...to capture your body position and pedal stroke on video, perform a quantitative assessment and implement changes to your position with a level of accuracy otherwise unattainable.What to do when you encounter the "impossible to ride"? You get off the bike and start running. Up a muddy hill. While carrying said bicycle. Which is why you need to be a super-star in shape person and not a lumpy couch creature to win a cyclocross race...which is why you need to hightail it to Crank Daddy's! We love the name, by the by. Although at first glance, we were thinking not of bikes but of a father who's angry cuz the traffic's bad and the kids are fighting in the back seat and don't make me stop this car. Oh, crabby dads, we salute you. Because even the angry ones come around, eventually.
