The CCCX series that attracts local racers from the Bay Area for some on (and off) season training not only includes the downhill and cross-country series, but is also cyclocross, which is where it all began (hence CCCX - Central Coast Cyclocross). Cyclocross was traditionally the off-season training for road bikers to keep fit in the Winter time, however it has turned into it's own separate animal over the years. Racers will start in a big heard and then start to drift apart after countless laps on the 1-2 mile course. Point One Racing's Tim Lukko raced Men's C for his first attempt at the new, fun challenge. Turns out with all the sprinting, it sharpens your skills for downhill racing. In the future we hope to have more Point One racers make a statement at these types of events.
