The Pikes Peak Velo Supercross cyclocross race is this Saturday in Bear Creek Park in Colorado Springs. Races will going on throughout most of the day. See the race flyer for start times for each of the age groups/categories.

The planned course is pretty much the same as what we used last year. Of course it’s possible there could be some late changes base on weather or other factors. You can take a look at the course map

Cyclocross is a fun way, intense way to stay fit. If you’ve never raced cross, you should give it a try.

If you aren’t into racing, it’s also great for spectating. Cyclocross races are held on short courses so you get to see the racers come by several times. The way the PPV Supercross is laid out you can also see several parts of the course at once on the north side.

I plan to be at the race most of the day. I won’t be racing this one but I’ll be helping set up the course, greeting people as they drive in, roaming around checking the course and whatever else needs to be done. I’ll also be shooting photos whenever I get the chance.
