Jeremy Haynes, promoter of the Boss Cross events, notes that the correct dates for his events are Nov. 1, Nov. 30th, and Dec. 28th. There had been some confusion regarding a Friday date. Jeremy also notes that his 3 races will be scored as a series. The opening round of the Series60CX features a night race this Saturday. Jeff Unruh has developed a course under the lights for a unique 'cross experience; add to that experience a course on the Heartland Park dirt track: Heartland Park HPT Round Two of the DeStad Van Kansas Series will be held at Clinton Lake on Sunday: Chris Cross A reminder to riders on Wednesday cyclocross training ride: The ride moves to Wyandotte County Park this week.
