The parking and course have been changed for this Saturday’s cyclocross race at Bear Creek Park in Colorado Springs. I had posted a couple weeks ago that we wouldn’t have as much work with directing traffic this year for cyclocross as we have in the past.
Unfortunately the Penrose Center decided today to not let us use their property so we’ll be parking where we have in the past. You can still use the directions from the race flyer to get to the race. You’ll just make the 1st right into the park once you turn onto Rio Grande Street.
It also means we can’t use the new course we were planning to use. Last week the county had gotten all the grass mowed down. I rode a few laps of the complete course last Sunday and it was going to be very tough. Instead we’ll be using a course similar to last year with a few improvements.
I won’t be doing this race but may do the one on November 22nd if I can get in some good training. I’ll be either course marshaling or directing traffic from around 10:30 to 2:30.
Come out and race and I’ll cheer you on. If racing isn’t your thing, cyclocross is great for spectators. The laps are short and you get to see riders several times. You also have a good chance of seeing some crashes.
