Mountain bikes are allowed in all races. Second race of the day $15. Day-of reg $10 late fee. Age 16-18 race your Cat (NO junior categories). USAC 1-day license fee ($10), available for Cat 5 Men & Cat 5 Women ONLY. Cash ONLY on race day. Rain or shine! No refunds (transfers okay till 8/8/19).
Course is a 2.5-km rolling loop on gravel/hardpack farm roads, with one short paved section and NEW grass section (open turns on grass, nothing tight).

Completed my first cyclocross race at Bikekineticrit. I raced the single speed race and managed to both finish and not come in last. I also managed to figure out turning on some of the corners although there were a few that slowed me down significantly.
The whole event was really great. Excellent facility, ice cold water, food truck and lots of beer. The Bikenetic folks and other racers were all encouraging. 5 stars, would race again.
Thanks to Casey and Samantha for encouraging me to race.
