We are doing a cyclocross omnium in July here in IL July 8th and 9th. We got enough positive feedback on the idea we decided to go for it. Here are the details:

July?
wow

that sounds like fun.

20 years from now we'll be saying, it all started with some cross races in July, and then some in February----that was the birth of year round cross.

congrats--i hope its successful

Having the race in July is a bit extreme I know, September would have been a better time of year, but I'm moving in August so it was now or never.

I'll be there for sure. Really looking forward to the short track race, as I miss the Thursday night short tracks that we had at Castlewood, they were great on the cross bike. 50 minutes of cross in July is going to really hurt.

euro-trash, sat morning I mapquested NYC to Carbondale IL, 16hrs/ 1000miles. I called my good friend and proposed a cyclocross road trip. He said it sounded crazy and he's in.
I'll PM you regarding possible accomodations and so on.

I got your message. Awesome you are coming. This could be quite a meeting of RBR cross racers.

I'm working on host-housing this week. I'll let you know. At worst, we have a TON of inexpensive but not sleazy hotels around. $35 -60 a night, but like I said, I'll try to find you a local racer's house where you can crash.

If anyone decides to fly to the race instead of a long road trip, send me a message. You can have your bike sent via UPS or Fed-ex to my house or to a local shop. I'll even do my best to have it set and ready to rock when you arrive.

The local airport is MWA, about 8 miles from the course. Your other option would be to fly into St Louis airport code STL and rent a car (it's only 2 hours)

Thanks for the PM. I'm spreading the word around the Memphis cross scene. I think I may be able to get a little group together. Nothing for sure yet, but it sure sounds like fun. I'll be in contact.

Maybe there is a future for summertime cyclocross races; it's getting some serious press.
