You betcha, and if you weren’t there (for the race or the food), then you missed out.
The Heber Fairgrounds course is pan-flat, and yet, still very technical, with hard dirt, soft dirt, mud, horse poop, sand, gravel, lots and lots of bumpy grass, s-turns and more, making this a true cyclocross course, rather than the typical jungle-cross course Utah has become known for.
And did the fun and festivities end there? NO! For after the race, organizer Jon Gallagher hosted a clam-bake/backyard barbecue … Steamed clams, chowder, fire-grilled shrimp, turkey and Boca burgers, fresh corn-on-the-cob, salads of all sorts, and cold beer, water and soda …
Yummy.
By the way, rumor has it that entry fees for the Utah Cyclocross Series are dropping back down this year, to $20.00 (pre-reg)/$25.00 (day-of) from last year’s fees …
Even though insurance has gone up yet again, Ind-Ohran feels confident that the increased numbers of riders from last year will continue to turn out (and bring more with them), allowing him to lower entry fees and still cover expenses.
10-race season passes are $180 (buy 9, get one free). 7-race passes are $130 ($10.00 off the regular price).
Series passes should be available through Sportsbaseonline.com
