Sunday
Oct. 14 Two day event culminating in riding the Iron 'Cross. On Saturday, Judy and Malcolm host a warm-up ride Saturday morning prior to the Iron 'Cross, and watch the Iron 'Cross Lite cyclocross races at Camp Thompson Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, we ride the Iron 'Cross, 100 kilometers and 6000'+ climb of extended cyclocross -- it's patterned after the High Peaks race in the UK, and we think it's a unique event in the US.

RSVP.
You must register for the Iron 'Cross separately (see <http://www.yellowbreechesracing.org> and <http://www.highspeedcycling.com> ) but no racing license is required. Map and racing numbers provided.
