Recap/Results

What a great rainy day for cross!!

If you've done this before, you know that the rainy, muddy, slickery courses are the absolute best!  Thanks to all who showed up and endured the rain and watched the course turn from wet grass to mud-bog as the day progressed.  70+ participated in the first race of the Central Iowa Cyclocross Series.

Results will be posted for both days after Sunday's race and photos will be uploaded soon after that!

THANKS to Paul & Kristy Varnum for manning the registration booth, Paul Jensen and Rob Versteegh for their course visions, Corky, Rick, Bruce, Will, Troy, the Varnums, and the rest for the set-up and tear down!!!

SEE YOU ALL ON SUNDAY. We are racing at Ewing Park again. It looks like it will be a nice day!
