Gear up! Break out the Belgian Knee Warmers! Smell the glue! Right now the weather report is calling for an 80% chance of rain and showers, with highs temperatures in the low 60s. In other words, perfect ‘cross conditions for the first race of the season.
Corner Canyon Equestrian Center
1266 East 13400 South
Draper, Utah
Those of you who have been racing cyclocross in Utah for awhile may remember this course, but 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.
On Friday, October 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 one-time Season Number Fee (unless you lose, misplace, or forget your number, in which case we’ll charge you again). 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 World Cup Supply, which look great and should 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 morning! The thorn situation is the best we have seen it, with just a couple spots that need a little help to be cleared.
** As always some kind of tire sealant is recommended for all Utah Cyclocross Series Races. We live in Utah and Goatheads are plentiful!!!!!

Thanks for the notice about this weekend’s cross race. Keep the notices coming. I’m busy every weekend this month. But I am definitely looking forward to shooting some races this season.
Theresa, darlin’ … you could always upgrade to “A” if you want to sleep in … you’ll get more for your money. More minutes, more pain, more top riders to push you to improve.
So the utahcyclocross site says women C pay full price. and I think Theresa should race with the A’s.
More for my money?? Are you saying that the women in B aren’t enough competition? And, I have never needed an outside influence to improve anything about my life.
