How about an epic for the first local race of the year? Epic Holiday Cyclocross is named for it's title sponsor (Epic Bike and Sport) but as typical of winter cyclocross the weather can add adjectives to any event. This Sunday, January 4th is the second edition of the event. It features a slightly larger course than last year but with similar features. This is race number 5 of the Series60. The final event is January 11th: The Grote Prijs Shawnee. Lastly, even if you're not a racer, both of these events feature great views of the action for spectating and Smokestack Series ales for refreshment. Bring your cowbell.
Oh yeah, it will make the race official's life easier if you renew your USAC license online before the event.
