Yesterday's Epic Holiday Cyclocross race lived up to it's moniker. A challenging course with sketchy frozen (and muddy) corners was groomed and taped by volunteers on Saturday (definitely an 'epic' job). The venue, Tuileries Plaza, featured a combo of cobbled Euro style streets, a single runup (no barriers needed because of the slippery conditions) and plenty of twists on the turf. Plenty of racers considered their race 'epic'. A number of news crews, including local television, came out to the village like venue to cover the action.
Bruce Edwards captures a lot of the fun in this gallery.
Sunday January 6th is the final local race for this cyclocross season: The Grote Prijs Shawnee. The Grote Prijs is the final event of the De Stad Van Kansas Cyclocross Series and also features a village style coures in Herman Laird Park (Old Shawnee Town). Expect free beer from the Boulevard folks and lots of great racing.
