Who’s excited for some sand at Het Meer CX at Vancouver Lake Park this
coming SATURDAY?! This is one for the Clydes and big motors, flat, fast,
and all about pure power. 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. Look like we might be in for great fall day.

GPCM Castelli Leaders (after race #1)

The GPCM Castelli Leaders Jersey will be awarded to the leader of select
categories (based on current points) before each race. The points leader of
each category is required to wear their leader's jersey while they maintain
their lead. Race attendance and participation is mandatory to receive the
jersey. If a leader is not present, it goes to the next highest seeded
