Lungbuster CX Sunday at Old Maybury Sanatorium

Note: I wasn't able to make it to Lungbuster, but it looks like I missed a good race. From the photos I've seen it looks like it was pretty amazing. If you were there and would be willing to post a race report please contact me. I'm especially interested in a beginner or back of the field perspective, but if you landed a podium spot and would like to gloat, that's fine too.

On Sunday October 22, Midwest Cycling Group will follow up the excellent Mad Anthony CX at historic Fort Wayne in Detroit with another unique race - Lungbuster CX. Sunday's race will take place on the grounds of an old tuberculosis sanatorium in Northville, Michigan.

Old Maybury Sanatorium

From the race site: "In keeping with the history of the park and making use of it's unique landscape, our course for this Saturday's CX will be tough and possibly have one of the longest run ups in Michigan... it will definitely leave you gasping for air.

This week we are also raffling off the main prizes including a Redline Conquest Pro frameset and a Vassago Fisticuff frameset. Plus we'll have plenty of other goodies to give away. On top of the low entry fee and SWAG raffle we'll have free beer and dogs...Yes Free Beer! This is from our Growler series sponsor Liberty Street Brewing - Plymouth, MI."
