My OBRA friends, this Sunday marks the tenth season for Corn Cross. I hope you can be there! We're proud to be part of the annual Harvest CX and Junior Cyclocross Series, and we're glad to have E8 Timing keeping track!

Expect again big features like the corn maze, flyover, and side-hill staircase, but prepare for a number of course changes, too--I always modify this parcours! This year's will be longer but with less climbing. It'll be very fast but with a lot of forced time off-the-bike. (Maybe it's not that different, then--haha!)

This year each registered rider will receive a well-stocked gift bag at sign-in. As is tradition at Corn CX, podium placers will choose their own prizes from well-stocked gift tables. Plus, the Open 1/2 & Women 1/2 categories will earn generous and equal cash prizes.

See harvestcx.com for more details and to register, and look for updates on OBRA-chat, too. As always, contact me by email at shop@sellwood.com or by text at (503) 348-7211.

My sincere thanks to Carol Cohen--she's my longtime collaborator for the races here. She has stepped back as lead promoter this year but will still run our exceptional kid's cross race. I couldn't do this without her!

My deep thanks to the Liepold family--there'd be no event without their excellent venue!

My many thanks to our presenting sponsors--it wouldn't be as fun and fruitful, without you!

And BIG thanks to Zone 5 Promotions--Scott Scholz and crew have made my work much easier!

Thank YOU  for reading--and for the decade of support!
