Everything is in place for this great race to happen. Now we just need some
sun and racers. The forecast is looking better, they are now calling for it
to be partly cloudy with a 10% chance of light rain showers.
All of the prizes from our great sponsors are in. A complete prize list will
be at the race, but here is a preview of some of the swag that can be had:
- Men's Madison: $100 Cash and some Cross Crusade goodies including two full
zip hoodies.

shades and some Smith clothing.
