Cyclocross coming to our area

We're less than two weeks away from the Papa John's Derby City Cup the first stop for the United States Gran Prix of Cyclocross.

The races are on October 25 and 26.

This is a very fun event. And it is definitely NOT just for avid cyclists. Cross is fun to watch for anyone.

The Derby City Cup is held at the old River Road Country Club, which is at the corner of River Road and Zorn. There will be food, drink (including beer), an expo area, and great cyclocross racing. This event draws the best cross racers in the US plus international racers too.

And it all takes place in a very nice park setting during the best weather that Louisville has to offer--cross fingers.

For those of you who've never seen a cross race check this link. It's from the 2007 Derby City Cup.

Come watch. Bring the kids. Bring a friend. Bring a co-worker. Bring a noisemaker--cowbells, air-horns, drums all work great. Crowd participation is a big part of cross.
