The Rover & Richard Sachs at CX Nationals
The 2017 edition of cyclocross nationals featured challenging conditions for racers and mechanics alike. To Be Determined's official mechanical partner, The Rover Cycle Co, was in attendance working with the Richard Sachs Cyclocross Team.
To Be Determined's own Roger Parmelee documented the experience from start to finish including initial equipment preparation, race warm-ups and of course post-race celebrations.
