Welcome to the 2018 Salt City Cyclocross Spectacular!
The weather finally has a hint of Fall (kind of), and your local coffee shop has started serving drinks with a heavy dose of pumpkin, which can only mean one thing…..Cyclocross season is here!
Warm-up your cow bell because our long tradition of local cyclocross racing continues Saturday and Sunday October 20th and 21st with two great days of CX racing in CNY.
This year we return to Longbranch Park in Liverpool NY where the courses includes a mud bog, sand, challenging climbs and drops, and our favorite, Hecklers Hill. We also have some great new sponsors and fun prizes this year.
New for 2018: if you’ve never raced, but want to give cyclocross a try (you should), the first race each day starts with CX skills training with USACycling coach Noel Bonk, followed by a few fun laps around the course. You can join in a full race later that morning.
Kids Race: Sunday afternoon we wrap-up the day with our super-fun kids race. All children 12 and under are invited to participate. Entry is free, but please register for the race on BikeReg. This year the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive a great prize package with all sorts of school supplies to be shared with their class.
