The dream comes alive!

For several years now, I've driven past the Broome-Tioga Sports Center and thought about the potential for an amazing cyclocross venue. Finally, I did something about it...

This past Tuesday, we met with BTSC's owner, Tom, to discuss race details. The great news is that they are absolutely on board with our idea! For once, a cyclocross race was not met with outright resistance. You just have to tap into the right resources- motocross arenas definitely fit the bill.

As we see it now, the course will consist of a mix of standard "grass crit" cylocross fare, coupled with portions on the actual motocross track. Expect a run/ride-up, a barrier set, an over/under flyover, and a few good motocross style terrain features!

To whet your appetite...



USAC permits were filed yesterday and we will shortly be on BikeReg.com for registration. Details and links when they become available.

I can hear the cowbells! Now all you need is a beer tent.
