Who’s excited for some sand at Het Meer CX at Vancouver Lake Park on
Saturday?!
Forecasters are calling for a great fall day with a high temp of 72. 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.
