WSC Campus Cross #1

Despite wind and cold, the first race of the Western Campus Cross went off successfully this past Saturday with over 20 racers toeing the line with a combination of cross bikes, mountain bikes, and single speeds of various shapes and sizes.

The start was a casual affair.  So casual that race organizer Eszter is going to create a hole-shot prime for next week.

Racers were all stoked on the course, the racing, and the schwag table at the end donated by our generous sponsors, including Rock N Roll sports.  We'll have a new course and a new race next weekend, same time, same place.  Don't forget that we'll have series prizes as well, so be sure to come out and support WSC Cycling and Gunnison Trails.
