Dr. Tad Hodgert with Masters of Dentistry has been participating in cyclocross races for about a decade. Before this event officially became “Thrilla Cyclocross,” it took place at his house in 2002. Hodgert said the race is like a bunch of 12-year-olds riding their bikes for fun.
“It’s fun, it’s playful, and the speeds are relatively slow, so as skill based as it is, it’s not physically threatening…It’s fun and playful,” Hodgert said. “It comes with a social group and I would invite everybody to come down to Thrilla and just count the smiles. We have to find something playful that we love doing, or we get old — and none of us want to get old. I’m not getting old. I’m having fun!”
