Capitol City Cyclocross

Contributed by Rob Versteegh

The first annual Capitol City Cross is in the books. Racers were met with beautiful weather and good times both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night saw a great ‘after party’ at the Bike Collective in down town Des Moines. Overall a fantastic weekend to kick off Iowa Cyclocross in 2008. We had 14 FIRST TIME RACERS! Great to see some new faces out there. A huge thanks to Mark Guthart, as always, for officiating both Saturday and Sunday.
