A member of our RenoCross team needs some help. For those of you that don’t know Ron Patch, he was an integral part of our race and our efforts at Cyclocross Nationals when it was in Reno and above all he’s one of the kindest, most genuine people you could ever meet. Help us help Ron beat cancer.

Click here to support The Patch Family Support Team XO organized by Lucie Oren Ron was diagnosed on July 8, 2019 with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Basically, he has cancer in his esophagus, stomach, lining of his intestine and in his blood and lymph nodes. We are devastated, but starting our fight immediately. We are giving it all we can! So, far we have had many hurdles to...

We are sorry to announce that RenoCross 2019 will not take place this fall. While spectators and participants alike embraced northern Nevada as host to this fantastic event, the cancellation of Interbike has had an effect on the race. Efforts were made to continue with the race in 2019, but it became clear that the quality of the race would be compromised without the incredible supporters and sponsors that typically would be in town participating in the show and our race. We are tremendously grateful to the cyclists, sponsors and spectators that helped make this race one of the most popular in the U.S.

Since posting about the uncertain status of RenoCross we’ve had a lot of feedback that supports the fact that riders want this race to continue to be a reality. While we’re grateful for the support, now is the time to act if you can in any way assist with sponsorships or leads. As previously mentioned, this race cannot happen without sponsors. The title sponsorship can be comprised of several donors and other levels are available too so no amount is too small. We urge you to make the calls and send the emails if you are serious about helping. Please email [email protected] or [email protected]

We will make a call either way this time next week. Thank you!

Since Interbike was cancelled, we’ve been working diligently to continue with plans to make RenoCross a reality despite the fact that the two events have worked in tandem for over a decade. It’s of the utmost importance to race directors that we maintain the integrity of this event and understand its importance to the CX community as it’s one of four UCI C1s and the only one on the West Coast. We feel we owe it to our loyal cyclists and participants to be transparent about the fact that we cannot confirm whether or not the race will move forward unless we can secure a title sponsor. We are tremendously proud of the event’s success at the inaugural race in Reno last September, and of its amazing 11 year run as CrossVegas. We believe in this race, that most notably was the first ever U.S. race selected for the UCI World Cup series, however cannot make it a reality without the valuable partnerships that can support the event. We are down to the bell lap to keep the race alive. With your support we can make it happen.

Cycling lost an icon today. We can remember the excitement of listenting to Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett announce the Tour De France every year as we grew into cycling. Great career, great commentary. He will be missed.

Does this mean 3.2 beer hand ups?

We have it on *pretty, pretty good* (insert Larry David voice) authority that SSCXWC19 is coming to Southern Utah. Now would be a good time for you to get a singlespeed cyclocross bike.

It’s humbling to see how much support is pouring out for the . Sierra Nevada is there when we have no cares and want to have a good time, and now they’re there when people in their community need help and support in ways many of us could never imagine. Sending much love to our fellow riders and the families and community affected by the fires.

To our friends in the community: We are reopening our Pub starting at 5pm tonight with a limited menu. This week, we will offer free meals to first responders and anyone who has been displaced by the . We will also have some clothing items in our tour lobby available to anyone in need while our inventory lasts. We are in this with you and we’ll get through it together.

Feedback Sports adding fuel to a young racers enthusiasm. Keep it up Koa!

This is Koa. At the ripe old age of 8, he already lives to ride, race and takes his training very seriously. He first saw our Omnium Over-Drive trainer at and begged his parents for one to train with--even offering to pay half (we were impressed with that level of commitment). The trainer arrived and he's already putting it to good use! Happy training, Koa!

It takes a lot to put together a bike race. Thanks to great volunteers like the QBP (Quality Bicycle Products) employees for helping make this years race a success.
