‘David Douglas Cyclocross Race’
Presented by Zone 5 Promotions and Half Fast Velo
This year we are starting off the season with an easy, fun race. Call it a practice race if you will. The course will be slightly modified to ease your legs into the season (shorter run-up). We'll return to the venue Oct. 29th for the classic course with the monster run-up. Mark your calendars! Stay tuned for the official fliers and more info about the Grand Prix Molly Cameron.
