Hello Michigan Racers,

Cyclocross (CX) season has gotten underway!!! Some of the biggest weekends of racing have happened, but there's still a TON more CX racing to be had.



FIRST - History was made at Cannonsburg Ski Area near Grand Rapids with the FIRST EVER NIGHT-TIME CYCLOCROSS RACE on Friday, September 11th.

ANOTHER FIRST - at the Tailwind Michigan Double-X weekend, September 19th/20th, Michigan CX racings FIRST 'flyover' (now dubbed the 'Rhinover') made its debut! The ORANGE-CRUSH flyover challenged races with a tough stair section and a steep exit ramp. Rumor has it the ORANGE-CRUSH will be back at the Michigan State CX Championships in December.

Sunday, September 27th - ITHACA GRAND PRIX OF CX

Brian Hancock continued to build his race into a monument of Michigan Cyclocross with the 3rd edition of the Ithaca Grand Prix of CX and the 'Amphitheater of PAIN!!!' Racing was FAST, FAST, FAST!!!!

HUGE results were posted by Mike Wissink, Mark Parmelee, Jeff Weinert, Anne Schwartz, Marne Smiley and other Michigan racers. The fantastic performances against some of the BEST CX racers in the US just confirms the very high level and the depth of Michigan CX racing!

CROSS IS DYING A SLOW DEATH IN MICHIGAN, FIRST THE LOSS OF THE UCI RACE. AND NOW TOO MANY LATE EDITION EVENTS CLOGGING THE SCHEDULE

WHATS NEXT? 24HR CROSS EVENTS?

State Championships (snow/ice) + Orange Crush = Lawsuit. Good luck with that one Tailwind.

New races of any sort are always a welcome, Its a shame the promoters can not get on the same page and work to togther with there events.
having new venues like the Ithaca race and the ones Joe L is promoting would be a nice switch to some of the mainstay's of the Tailwind series. But what seems to happen is they apear to be poorly attended just because it not part of the Tailwind thing. Does anyone know why Robert doesnt work with any of the other promoters?

the attendence in the cross scene in Michigan will remain what is, no more, no less, past experiences dictate the future.

RP created the conflict, RL has been on the same weekend/days for years...

Night race was cool. They didn't even kill the course like usual. Dinky field though. Looks like a dying breed.

There is cross requiring a license, $30 race fees and skin suits. There is also cross that costs $20 with cold beer and no podium to stand on. You pick
