Who’s excited for some sand at Het Meer CX at Vancouver Lake Park
tomorrow?! It looks like we are in for a great fall day. The course will
feature flat, fast sections that are all about pure speed. Oh, and we’ll be
on the beach for a long leg. It’s hard packed and fast, but getting down
and back up will be a unique challenge. Please prepare yourself for warm
weather. There will be water feeds allowed at the pit at the discretion of
the officials.
