Cyclocross makes its annual return to Valmont Park in Boulder—host venue of the 2014 Cyclocross Nationals—this weekend for the Alfalfa’s ElDora US Open p/b Black Swift and Panaracer.
The weekend features C2 races both Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to the impressive amount of young talent that lives in Colorado and points further west, the weekend should be a solid showcase of the future of U.S. cyclocross alongside some of the sport’s top established riders.
The US Open also features Junior Men UCI races both days.
At Jingle Cross, Katie Compton said she might be racing this weekend, but it looks like she is making preparations to head to Europe. Her first race in Belgium should be Kermiscross in Ardooie on Thursday.
Start lists are below. The Junior Men race at 2:55/3:05 p.m. MDT, Elite Women at 3:50/3:55 p.m. and the Elite Men at 4:50/4:55 p.m.
It appears there might be a live stream for the race? We have contacted the race director for more information and have asked some riders to keep their eyes out for TV cameras.
