The current local 'cross schedule includes some opportunites for 'show and go' practice at Herman Laird Park in Shawnee on Wednesday evenings. After a bit of consulting, several area cyclocross enthusiasts are suggesting we move things around a bit. Laird is a great facility, but could be a victim of local success. With over 50 riders competing for space while the little ones are still playing soccer and football on the infield, it's suggested that we give Laird a 2 week rest. It's likely that with a little rain this week, the City of Shawnee folks will drop a little grass seed down too.
Next Wednesday, the Boulevard Cup promoters are encouaging riders to come out to Wyandotte County Park for a little test run of that venue. Start time 5:30 PM, but if you're a little later there should be plenty of folks to ride with. We're also waiting to hear word from Bill Marshall about Tuesday sessions at Tiffany Springs, site of this year's Nationals. With park permission it should be a go at the same time as the Wednesday sessions.
As soon as a location is released for the following Wednesday we'll post. But we'll be back to Laird after a short pause.
