America’s oldest cyclocross series returns to Santa Cruz County this weekend with the return of  its famous Halloween festivities including costume cross, a free kid’s race, and of course candy for the kids on Sunday at Aptos High School.

On Saturday, racers can hone their skills and get some a course preview by attending a skills clinic led by some of the region’s best-known cyclocrossers at Sunday’s race venue.
