It's 'cross time again! Head on out to Hood River to enjoy the (almost) first 'cross race of the year. It should be sunny and warm (not hot like the last few years) and the course is in beautiful shape. Bring the family and make a day of the trip. Check out Hood River's many orchards, fruit stands, and wineries. Stop in at Discover Bicycles or New York City Sub Shop and support our sponsors!

News:

We will score the Masters Women 45+, just like Cross Crusade and Barlow.
