Cyclocross is Coming Back to Rocky Hill

For the fourth year in a row, has returned to on Tuesday nights this summer.

The bicycles used for Cyclocross are specially built and a cross between a traditional road bike and mountain bike. Courses are fixed across a variety of terrain and designed to test the rider’s bike handling skills.

Riders are frequently required to dismount from their bikes and navigate obstacles known as hurdles. The races are intense affairs that can last for up to 45 minutes with little rest.

Check back with Patch as more details are released on the upcoming series.

Happy Father's Day - Just a Day Late

I would like to say a Happy Father's Day to my dad, Joseph Wenzel III.

My father, who is nicknamed Tony, helped get me started in the journalism field and told me never to quit it.

Dad and I did not always see eye to eye on everything. However, every time I needed my dad, he was always there. He provided for my family without ever asking for anything expect the "big piece of meat."

I just wanted to say thank you dad for everything. I could not ask for a better man to show me how to be a better man.

Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads, present, past and future. You all deserve it.
