the BLIND DATE quietly approaches...

21st Ave bicycles, Castelli, and Alpenrose invite you to the 7th season of
the BLIND DATE at the DAIRY, firing off Wednesday Sep 16th!
Race schedule and info can be found here: http://www.crossseries.com/ , and we'll keep you updated as details fall into place.

register
for the series and score a fresh blind date t shirt, which you will
likely be asked about (uh, what is blind date at the dairy?) every time
you wear it to a non-bikey event.

the team at 21st ave will be offering neutral support, prizes, sweet demo bikes, and investment tips.

if you accidentally become the series leader, Castelli will set you up in a blind date national champion jersey, for keeps!

Stumptown
coffee roasters will supply whole beans for prizes each night and
several cases of delicious cold brew, found in the cooler at
registration while supplies last. i will drink four.

the Vegan Caterer will be set up and offering tasty dinners made entirely from plant parts!

new
for this year: mens 50+ and 60+ fields, and the OHSU Knight cancer
fundraiser (details on our site). also, some course changes... and a
feature that i'll share more about soon. hint: cx nats at valmont, giant pile of lumber, pulaski and a chainsaw.

notable, same as last
year things: our call ups will be computed from last years series
standings, and blind date series points count towards the mighty CROSS
CRUSADE call up matrix. and, our entry fees are the same old $16
pre-reg, $20 on site. probably the cheapest date you will ever go on.

love- tony and joe
