It is my great honor to announce the first ever BIKETOWN cyclocross event. We will be hosting a two lap team relay race for the enjoyment of the fans. Now this will jiggle the schedule around a bit but I think it's going to be worth it. There are a few team spots open so if you have one wiling participant from the women's categories and another from the dudes get ahold of me. The race format will be one lap for each team member around a modified BIKETOWN specific course that should be good for spectating.
Here's the night's schedule:
5:30 PM
Junior Women
Junior Men
5:55 PM
Masters 2/3 Men 35+

Another change to the course will be brought to you by the Poler team. It'll involve a shortcut and I'll let you guess what you'll need to do to take the shortcut. It ought to be a fan favorite.
The awards party will be happening next Thursday, October 6. We'll have adult beverages for adults from Gigantic Brewing, soft beverages from Atlas Soda Works for kids and adults like me who don't do the booze. Olympia Provisions will also be bringing their hot dog cart and grilling up some meats. Party starts at 6pm and awards will happen around 7:30pm to make sure you all can get there from work with plenty of time.
Series points are updated on the Trophy Cup site and soon to be on the OBRA site.
