Kansas cyclo-cross championships

The Cow Town Cyclo-cross Series' final round is this weekend's Kansas State Cyclo-cross Championships. Individual class wins, State Championships for Kansas Riders and Series titles will all be up for grabs on December 10 in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Sunday’s event will take place on the Leavenworth High School course which will feature over 250 ft of climbing per 1.5 mile lap. "This event will truly test all the riders and whoever is strongest will definitely earn the win" said co-director Roger Harrison.

The series benefits organizations like Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation and volunteer groups like the Lantern Rouge Volunteer Group and VFW. "The series was a great success and we look forward to holding it again next season. 'Cross is growing in our area and it is always a lot of fun to put on quality events for everyone. An added bonus is holding things like raffles that can raise money for organizations like DBA," said Co-director Chris Locke.

I've been to watch a couple of cyclocross events. Really cool and very tempting, but I don't have the time or money to get involved. Still, I believe the nationals are going the be held in KC next year.
