CYCLO X Boulder 2010 and NEW 2011 Race!


Cyclocross in Colorado over the past 3 years has exploded in popularity.  Road cyclists love the variety, triathletes are filling the off-season void, and mountain bikers get to extend their Summer season.  With the 2013 UCI World Cyclocross Championships being held in Kentucky the popularity of the sport could truly be Without Limits!  In 2008 we saw 600 people at some Colorado events and in 2009 the growth continued throughout the wet and muddy fall.  Our goal for 2010 was an early Oct. date, but November 21st comes with ample benefits; cool temps, 2 weeks before the state championship, right before Thanksgiving, plus more time to build even better features into the land!  So what does the future hold?  With the popularity of cyclocross going mainstream the public is demanding creative courses and a longer season.  The Without Limits crew is ready to meet that demand by adding a January 22nd date in 2011.  If the Euros can keep racing in the freezing rain of Belgium then so can the hardcore Coloradans!  Stay tuned for more Cyclocross news later in the Summer!
