It’s here!

With all the great ‘cross races that we’ve been having such fun at in our little part of the world.. the mystical powers of the woods have carried the undeniable voices of whimsical pain and  joyous celebration all they way to ears and souls of our humble race organizers.. where they have joined forces to unite the region in challenge.. unleashing a lively competition to crown the kings and queens of the ‘Cross in the Center Land.

This challenge will spread over the hill tops, through the valleys and over the undulations in between.. across dewy off camber grasses, shimmering in reflection, as those chosen blades within the tape look downward to their roots as if telling them to ready and stay strong as they await the shredding tires of excitement.. over rock and root whose spirits lick their lips in anticipation of the opportunity to steal the air from those same tires should their racer underestimate their might.. through the valleys and across the surface of smooth frigid waters of shallow streams.. the challenge will be the force that keeps these racers honest.. their blood, adrenaline and dopamine rushing, keeping the fires raging in the quads, hearts and core of their being.. well into the crisp air of the seasons turn.. bringing warmth and good natured push, push, push.. allez allez allez.. hoppe hoppe hoppe.. swooping, sliding, grinding, hammering..  hungry for every turn, every obstacle.. the spirit of challenge making us stronger every day  – – Central New York Cyclocross Points Series… the CNY Cup!
