Well, Zach has been busy with an excavator, Aiden with the mower, and Pip with the tractor. The course is riding fast and holds some new surprises along with old favorites!
There is really no excuse to miss this event: awesome prizes, spectacular course, sweet vibes, fast rides.

Local Lodging: If you are coming to Putney and plan to stay over either Saturday or Sunday night, please consider the Putney Inn, as they support us by offering their property for parking - you are right at the race site. Their rates are very reasonable and their rooms were renovated recently. There are also many Airbnbs available in the area.

This weekly cross fix happens every Wednesday on our race course right here at the shop. Be ready to roll at 5:00pm (but you can ride earlier). Doesn't matter if you are a racer or a newbie. Come and enjoy the work out, get tips from the veterans, try to better your time, or just meet some fellow cross geeks. It's free and all are welcome!
