Detroit Cyclocross!

I just got word of the Mad Anthony Cyclocross Race, October 17 at historic Fort Wayne in Detroit.

"Get ready to mix history and racing with the Mad Anthony Cyclocross race at historic Fort Wayne in SE Detroit. The fort was built in 1845 and is a treasure trove of history. Come check it out and afterward enjoy a great post-race meal at Los Galanes restaurant in Mexican town.

This is truly a race experience you CANNOT MISS!!!!!"

That's a lot of exclamation points. They must really mean it.

"The race course will feature 150 year old cobbled paths, a 50m tunnel through the fort wall, two-track and grass paths through the moat as well as significant elevation changes."

At 9am there will be a FREE beginner's cyclocross clinic where riders can "learn cyclocross technique and tips from top CX racers."

Here's a video preview of the course - it's pretty shaky, but gives a good idea of what the course is like. Looks like a blast. I'll definitely be at this race!(!!!!)
