Cyclocross

Want to try Cyclocross, but don’t want to drive all the way to Chicago. Check this series in Bloomington:

Our races will be held on November 2nd, November 23rd, December 14th, January 4th and January 25th at Twin City Wood Recycling (1606 W Oakland Ave Bloomington, IL , 61701-4793) . There will be two races each day, a beginner’s race of three laps and an advanced race of six laps (each lap is a little more than a mile). The course will be previewed at 12:00 pm and the beginners race will start right after that. All participants must wear a helmet and sign a waiver. A small donation of $5.00 would be appreciated to help me pay for food and beer for after the race (I’m still in college y’know).

I hope to see a big turnout at the first race!

Gene went over to try this race, he placed 2nd in the A race(beginner). Next time he’s going to do the B. He also stated a mountain bike would work on this course, so if you want to try some cyclocross but don’t have a cyclo-bike take your MTB and give it a try.

I had fun at this race, but some would not like the format. No numbers and no prizes, we race for homemade chilli. B race had 12 riders some from team Mac and ISU. The course is very rough and tight, not your normal grass course. I plan on going to the next one, so for more info give me a call. 217 714 6523 gene
