Welcome to the weekend. Well, almost. It’s time to make a plan and get the most out of your time to ride.
Here’s what I recommend…
Saturday, October 5th
Oregon Cyclocross Championships – All day at Alderbrook Park (WA)
Who’s got the best legs and will earn the fabled champs jersey this year? It all comes together at a really fun-looking course and the weather should be perfect. More info here.
