Cross crusade blasts off!
The weatherman certainly called it wrong, but the racing prevailed. The C 35+ field had 150 starters as did a few other categories. The course at Alpenrose Dairy was basically the same as the last couple of years except for the amount of racers. A section of off-camber wet clay felled a number of riders early on, but most everybody recovered and finished. I finished a little better than mid-pack, which for me was a good improvement over last year. What a difference a year makes. Anyway the new kits are sweet and really stand out! Totals for the day: 1267 riders!! Another record indeed! jesse

Now that’s an event - 1267 riders is amazing.
I think it’s time to open up a Crossniacs recruiting office in the Pacific Northwest!
