CYCLO-CROSS FILLS OUR HEARTS: the anticipation for an early season race.
In 2008, a local area dentist allowed use of his Bald Peak property for cyclocross racing. He asks, "What can I do to inflict pain and suffering on weekends?" This was his answer! Let's inflict some "Pain and Suffer'n" with some fast and furious bicycle racing. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or professional rider, you will find our courses a "ton-o-fun". Youth riders are welcome for their own events, but no whining allowed!
Endorsed and scored by OBRA, these races are well planned and meant to stimulate your pain centers. If you don't feel the burn, then pull to the side and let other riders pass you, as you cry out, "I'm not worthy!"
If you wish to come out and watch agony in action, please feel free to visit our many sponsor booths and presenter Sunset Cycles.

It's hard to believe that people will pay to do this to themselves, but for a mere $20 (pre race registration for each race) you can moan and groan your way around some of the most spectacular view property in Washington County.
So if you find the idea of having a root canal exciting, or pass on the anesthetic when you face the drill, these events are for you. Come join us Sunday September 11th. just north of Bald Peak Road on Whitmore Road south of Hillsboro. There is plenty of parking, room for tailgating, and a good time to be had by all who dare.
