> The Cross Crusade is back and better than ever. I want to thank our newest presenting sponsors; Rapha, Cannondale, Icebreaker, and Sage Cycles.
>
> Alpenrose is a big race for those of you that haven't been paying attention. It has been the cyclocross race with the highest attendance numbers of any race in the world every year for the past decade. It is a great party and we want all of you to come and have fun. We have a crew working feverishly on the course all this week to make sure it will exceed any expectation you might have.
>
> We have a couple allstar biker racers who will be attending this Sunday. Two time National Champion Ryan Trebon and fellow "twin tower" Barry Wicks will both be givin 'r in the Elite Mens Race.
>
> With all of this popularity comes a few requests from the race promoter. First, we will have a staff of parking attendants on duty. Please do as they direct you to. Second, if you park in the neighborhood across the street from the dairy please be respectful and nice to the neighbors (i.e. no pissing on the dahlias).
> If your team wants set up a tent that is A ok. For this race though we recommend you do that on Saturday any time after noon. You will also be able to pre ride the course from noon on. Alpenrose Dairy is a non alcohol venue. For this reason we will have six pack prizes for pick up at River City Bicycles.
>
> The Kiddie Cross Race at Alpenrose is also a huge deal. Since there are so many racers we have made a completely seperated course for the little ones. There won't be any issues with kids and juniors getting tangled with each other.
>
> Due to the extreme amount of grief I have been catching, there will not be an Elite SS category. Next year I will do a better job of explaining it to everyone beforehand. Instead, I have decided to offer an Elite Clydesdale Category. Dope control will be present for this category and weight will be strictly monitored by "One Ton Kevin Blair". He will be wielding a sledge hammer for cheaters.
>
> From the entire Cross Crusade Crew, we want each and every one of you to have the time of your life. Come out, bring the family, enjoy the food carts, and race hard. See you Sunday. The Crusade is on!
