DC Fun CX series
Status: currently on hold, seeking new venue


At our second Ft. Reno fun race, a Park Policeman informed us that we would need to obtain a permit for any future events, but did not tell us to leave.    Unfortunately, it was the determination of the Rock Creek Park Superintendent that biking should not be allowed at Fort Reno, so no permit was obtained

So, the DC practice race series is currently suspended as we consider other options...

cheers,

marc



What it is - an informal cyclocross race in NW DC- not an official or sanctioned event.

Date: Cancelled
Place: East side of Ft Reno Park -
    a couple blocks north of the corner of Wisconsin Ave and Nebraska Ave NW
        clickable map: http://tinyurl.com/u2z6

Time: 10am for orientation/ pre-ride/warmup
      45 minute 'fun' race will start at 10:30

The course will be marked out, and will contain a mix of grass, gravel paths, pavement, run-ups and  a few barriers to hurdle.   Riders of all abilities welcome, but expect to be able to ride on and off-road (mostly grass) and hop off your bike a couple times per lap- however there won't be any singletrack or need for serious mountain biking skills.

feel free to email with any questions or forward to other potential 'crossers.
