That Cyclocross Thing, formerly Tempe Cyclocross Tuesday is your home for grassroots, run-what-ya-brung, underground style cyclocross competition in Arizona’s cycling capital, the Phoenix valley. All are invited to join in on our short course cyclocross practice at our local parks. It doesn’t matter your age, gender or the type of bike you’re on (updated: no e-bikes please). We exist to bring you simulated cyclocross racing, as well as building skills and friendships for the Arizona cyclocross season in the AZ Cross series. The top three finishers from the men’s column and women’s column will get points in the series. We go at it every Tuesday night at 6:30pm from the first Tuesday of October into mid-December.

There are just three rules when racing TCT:

Have Fun
Ride at your own risk
Don’t be a jerk
What to bring:

A bike – whatever type of bike you want (no motors) the courses are built to cater to cyclocross specific bikes and teach you cyclocross race specific skills. Having said that, bring your cruiser, bring your mountain bike, we don’t care.

Lights – 90% of our courses are designed to be in lighted parks, but a headlight is a good idea if you’re not comfortable riding a course in the dark the remaining ten percent. No need for tail lights on our courses, we don’t ride in the streets.

Water – bring plenty.

Helmet – Regardless of what your dad used to say, we believe your head has value – bring one.

A good attitude – we don’t put up with bigots, poor-sports, whiners, elitists or all-around jerks. If you’re one of these, you’re still welcome, just check your negative attitude at the door. Life’s short and cycling is fun, we’ll make sure you remember that.
