Loosely translated: Freeze Your Ass Off Cross.
Cyclocross at the Fairhill, MD Fairgrounds. Saturday, Dec 10.
About and hour from Philly, and about an hour from Baltimore.
Brought to you by the people who bring you Charm City Cross and Granogue Cross.
Perhaps you ask yourself self, "why the hell would the folks who put on two of the biggest cross weekends in the Mid Atlantic promote another race? are they gluttons for punishment?"
Yes, we are gluttons for punishment. Yes, keydecision makers (Auer, L-Web, and Monkey) were drinking.
But most importantly, because we love cross and our community needs it.
It's not that we love the of finding a venue, or sorting the call ups, and answering awesome emails, or loading up a truck full of equipment, laying out a totally new course, knowing all along that we will likely lose money on this venture. It's because we love cross. We love this community and we need to race in December.
Friends, I probably don't have to tell you that Nationals and Masters worlds are in January. While in the past, the mid atlantic season wrapping up the last weekend in November, or maybe in the first weekend in Dec was cool. But with another month to go, if folks really want a shot a doing well at nationals they need to race. And thus, after a few beers , this weekend is happening.
What's that you say, "Hey Fatmarc, I am so over cyclocross right now. My season is done. I'm not going to nationals or masters nationals! I'm drinking like a fish, and riding my mtb with hippies every day! "
That's awesome, I hope you are enjoying the offseason, you should support this race anyway. Come out, race your mtb in the cross race, or bring both bikes then go ride the tons of trails that Fairhill offers. I can't guaruntee hippies, it is in Cecil County after all.
I encourage you to be a little forward thinking, Maybe next year you find the form you've been looking for and you are totally targeting nationals, and if this race or even our friend up in PA's race aren't supported, well who is to guarunteed they'll be back next year.
Both races offer UCI C2 Payout for the elites, the normal payouts for all other races.
The course is really fun, 3-4 dismounts a lap, lots of corners.
so seriously, go here and register.
And for the limnstone at the kiln race, go here.
thank you for your time.
If you have any awesome questions about the race, hit me up here
respect
