I ended up doing Copper Cross last Saturday and it was an awesome cross vibe, New Belgian beers and Fat Tire in cans for a buck, but the turnout was marginal and so Star-Crossed is the true kick-off for cyclocross in the NW this season. Be there!
The link to Star-Crossed is here for more details, but the jist is that its a late afternoon and evening affair this Saturday at the Marymoor velodrome in Redmond, and be prepared to hangout after your race to watch the big boys and girls race. This is a great spectator course, so come out, rain or shine, and whether you will race or not race. Lower categories begin racing at around 2-3pm but the elite gun won't go off until 8pm, so find your place early in the beer-garden. I'll be there early and will have the RV, so come find us!
On Sunday its the same cast of characters at the Rad GP down in Steilacoom, a great course and a regular on the Seattle CX series circuit.
Those who are racing and/or just going along, post a comment to this blog entry and make a note of what category so we can be there to cheer you on and give you support: need a wrench, spare bike or wheels?
The Seattle series starts the following weekend and I'll send out more information about that soon, but be ready to race and let's get together for some cross training and workouts soon.
