Here Comes Cylocross!

Jackalope

It’s been a long wait since the last cyclocross race in these parts. But they are back this weekend with the CX equivalent of a double-header. Both races are very spectator friendly so come out and enjoy the insanity. Saturday night you’ll have the opportunity to kick off the Arkansas Super-Prestige Cylocross Series with a night race at Kanis Park (I-630 and Rodney Parham Rd). Experience racing under the lights.

4:30 p.m. Registration opens, course open for practice
6:30 p.m. Kid’s race
7:00 p.m. Women, Masters (40+), Juniors (18-), Fours
8:10 p.m. Open

The next morning we all meet again at Reservoir Park off Cantrell Rd. You can sleep in a little, the first race is at 11 a.m. but registration starts at 9:30 a.m. All races take place rain or shine or snow or mud. If you’d like to try it out you don’t need anything other than a mountain bike to give it a whirl.

FREE COWBELLS!

You will need a cowbell and we can help. For each event this weekend, Arkansas Outside will be giving away a cowbell to the first 25 people who come up to our tent/canopy/banner and say the secret phrase. We will announce the phrase sometime this week on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Your first hint is in this video.

Good Luck!
