About the Race:
It's December, and I'm jonesing for a cross race. I miss all my friends and want to play on bikes once again this winter with all of them. This is strictly a fun event, I'm throwing in some cool prizes, but the focus is on how fun I can make the course and seeing everyone one more time. Come on out and join me for a fun, underground first-year cross race.

Parking:
If there is snow, parking can be a tad bit tight and awkward, BUT it's not a huge problem. If there is snow on the ground, cars will need to park at the entrance and ride back in. Don't worry, you can bring a bag back with you and chill inside. Four wheel drives can head right on back in the snow, as well as all wheel drives and vehicles with good traction.

Course:
Don't expect this to be a traditional cyclocross course. We are NOT a USAC Sanctioned race, which means we can make an awesome course. Expect cross like it was back in the day! Run ups, barriers, single track and a sweet course. Expect multiple sets of barriers, a few long run ups, and an awesome single track descent.

Other Activities:
If I can get my internet modem to fire up on the premesis, I will be trying to stream the live feeds of the world championships on a projector in the house for your viewing pleasure. This will be subject to the availability of the races during the day. if we can not stream live coverage, we will have a few cross movies hooked up.
The pond may be frozen for ice skating.....maybe.
There are also a host of mountain bike trails on the premesis that will be open for riding.
BON-FIRE!
