We’re coming up on “Christmas Week” of Cyclocross for Kansas City: Boxing Day, Grote Prijs Shawnee and ‘Cross Off The Old Year. With our typical turn in the weather towards winter, you can expect mud at all three races.
But not to fret (entirely); water sources will be available. The new Boxing Day course is a few hundred meters from registration and running water. Probably too far to run a bike from the pits in time, but close enough to fill buckets between races. Expect this venue to have a fair amount of running despite minimum change of elevation.
Grote Prijs Shawnee and ‘Cross Off will have water access fairly close to the pit.
