While the Canadians are racing their National Championships and at PTBOCX, the Really Rad Festival of Cyclocross is hosting two days of U.S. UCI racing in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
The race was started in 2015 as a continuation of the long-running Plymouth Festival of Cyclocross that started back in 1977. Last year, the event hosted two days of UCI racing.
Ellen Noble (Trek Factory Racing CX) is set to return to racing for the first time since the U.S. World Cups in the Elite Women’s race. Rebecca Fahringer (Kona Maxxis Shimano) helps join in heading up the start list, along with Katie Clouse (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld), who had a successful weekend at Kings CX.
Last year’s double winner Crystal Anthony (Liv Cycling) also returns to defend her twin titles.

On the Men’s side, the Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld duo of Curtis White and Stephen Hyde are hoping for a rad weekend for their team. Their young teammate Lane Maher (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) will be joining them along with Spencer Petrov (Jam Fund / NCC).
Start lists for this year’s Really Rad Festival are below. Check back over the weekend for results.
