Cyclocross is a unique sport, the best sport, combining all sorts of terrain and challenges within a very spectator friendly 2-3 kilomoter long course, taped off with caution tape. One of the most appealing qualities of 'cross is how spectator friendly and social it is. Unlike other cycling sports where you don't see the racers inbetween the start and finish area, in cross you can watch all the action unfold right before your eyes. Check out this great trailer for "Transitions" to get a better idea of what cyclocross is like.

With a history well steeped in mid-atlantic cross culture, welcome the return of the classic east coast cross venue of the marysville lions club.  From the MAC to PA State Championships to the PA Cross series, this is a great venue with a lot of history and I am proud to resurrect it as a 2009 venue.

Course Description:

Your Classic Cyclocross Course with barriers and variable terrain including grass, pavement, and gravel. The 2-3 KM Closed course makes it great for spectating. Course will be flowing and difficult, making use of natural run-ups, off cambers, and endless cornering. Look for some wide open power sections and enough technical riding to make it a true crosser's course. The main feature will be the run/ride?-up of sunshine and rainbows. Why sunshine and rainbows? Because too many obstacles are of doom or death or pain......its overused. This way I lure people in and beat them into submission.

RAIN OR SHINE EVENT.
