We are getting back to our roots……

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Oct 4th Race at Andy Ballard Equestrian Center, 1600 East Highland Dr. (13675 South), Draper, Ut.

For those of you who have been Racing Cross in Utah for awhile you may remember this course. It has changed quite a bit. The entire course will now be on the Equestrian Center side of the road. This will definitely be a Fun Course.  

Friday, Oct 3rd, from 4 to 7 pm there will be a:

Thorn Removal, Registration, and Number pick up gathering at the Equestrian Center.

Pre-registration price applies. $22 for race and $10 1 time Season number fee. We do have duplicate numbers available for some of you who take your Cross racing more seriously and have 2 bikes. 

We have New numbers made by Worldcup Supply. They look Great and hopefully will make Scoring easier.

Bring a shovel or rake and come pick your number up Friday so you don’t have to stand in line on Saturday!

The thorn situation is the best I have seen it. We have just a couple spots that need a little help.

 **As always some kind of Tire sealant is recommended for all Utahcyclocross Series Races. We live in Utah and Goatheads are plentiful!!!!!
