Vittoria Diamante Pro 2 Review

We've been fans of higher thread count clincher tires for a long time. The newsteam has used a number of Vittoria products over the years both tubular and clincher. A few years back when Vittoria released the original Diamante Pro (Pro being the Vittoria folks designation for 'folding') we were very impressed. A 220 TPI thread count gave it a very supple ride, maybe not quite as smooth as their flagshipo Corsa Open tubular series, but still very nice. Plus the tire had a more durable rubber compound, allowing a rider to get training mileage on a tire that was race worthy.

Epic Holiday Cyclocross Results
Kansas City Metro

Bitter overnight temperatures kept the ground frozen for most of today's races at the Tuileries Shopping Center, but riders were able to beat the chill with inside registration and restrooms courtesy of sponsor Epic Bike and Sport.

The course was expanded from last year and featured a long cobbled road section, natural runs (no barriers), and some rough Colorado like ruts. Results. Photos will be posted in a bit by Roger Harrison. Local TV KSHB 41 shot a short feature on cyclocross. Racing continues next week with the Grote Prijs Shawnee.

 
First Race of 2009
Kansas City Metro

How about an epic for the first local race of the year? Epic Holiday Cyclocross is named for it's title sponsor (Epic Bike and Sport) but as typical of winter cyclocross the weather can add adjectives to any event. This Sunday, January 4th is the second edition of the event. It features a slightly larger course than last year but with similar features. This is race number 5 of the Series60. The final event is January 11th: The Grote Prijs Shawnee. Lastly, even if you're not a racer, both of these events feature great views of the action for spectating and Smokestack Series ales for refreshment. Bring your cowbell.

Oh yeah, it will make the race official's life easier if you renew your USAC license online before the event.

Last Race of '08 UPDATED
Kansas City Metro

The inagural 'Cross Off The Old Year' cyclocross at Pierson Park featured cold but clear conditions and some competitive fields. Lots of terrain change with a wicked runup sorted out those who could climb from...well, those who couldn't climb quite so well. Results. Photos by Roger Harrison. More photos by Alex Grigsby.

The localcycling.com staff would like to give big props to the Renaissance Cycling Team for their assistance in putting on this unique event. Coach Jef Bishop has some cool things to download at the website. Check 'em out.
