What a great time we had under the lights at Alpine Valley with all of you! Thanks for coming out to our first ever hosted pre-season race! It was an epic face-off between a concert, a wedding and a cyclocross race for music and parking. 😅 IYKYK This post is a compilation of the night’s podiums. More highlights to come! Thanks to Kenny Labbé for his top notch commentary. And now on to an awesome regional season between Wisconsin CX Series p/b TREK and ChiCrossCup with a side of Screw City Cyclocross and others further out. Best of luck to everyone!
