Cross Racing in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte Development Cyclo-Cross Series
presented by Trek Bikes of Charlotte

In effort to generate more interest in cyclo-cross racing, Charlotte
Sports Cycling has teamed up with the new Trek Bikes of Charlotte to
host a Tuesday night cyclo-cross series which kicked off last Tuesday
night at North Meck Park in Huntersville. The first event went great as
we had over 40 people race the twisting course at N Meck Park. The
course and set up of the event received rave reviews from the race
participants.

The plan is to once again open the course at 5pm for riding and training
with cyclo-cross guru Bob Pugh. The first set of races will start at
6:15pm and last for 30 minutes. The second set of races will start at
7pm and last for 45 minutes. The remaining dates for the event are
Tuesdays, Nov 18 and 25 and Dec 2. Even if you don’t want to race, come
out and harass the people racing. You can see the whole one mile course
from the finish line..its like stadium seating.

This Tuesday, Trek Bikes of Charlotte will be giving gift certificates
to all who register and will be giving prizes for those who win the
category.  Medals will also be given to the top three in each category.
We also plan to have hot chocolate on Tuesday..YUM YUM .

BTW, you can use a mountain bike or a cross bike on the course. For
