Castle Cross

The Green Mountain Sports Racing team will be putting on the second annual "Castle Cross" cyclocross race on Sunday November 7, 2010. The venue for the race will be in Castle Rock, at the brand new Rhyolite bike park. Officials from the Town of Castle Rock will be on hand to officially kick-off the opening of the bike park on Sunday the 7th. See the following article on the 303Cycling website for more information:

The Course:
The course for the race is even better than last year, as it is a fast and manicured 1.5 mile loop with lots of twists and turns. The course features grass sections, 100 percent black dirt, pavement and a small gravel road section. It is a REAL cyclocross course, designed by racers . . for racers. Town officials are seriously considering keeping the course intact for year round cyclocross racing and training if there is interest, so come on out to help make that happen.


The Races:
The cyclocross races will kick off at 8:30am and run through 4:30pm, with categories for all abilities. Cash prizes of $750 (and/or medals) will be offered to the top three finishers in the various categories. For more info about the races, please click below for the official race flyer.
