Season Finale set for Saturday!!

The last race of the season is set for Saturday, October 4th at Goose Lake. A map to the start is available here. As the series championship, this race will count for double points. The overall series standings are very tight, especially for the Open Men. With tickets to Portland on the line, Saturday's race should be fiercely contested. Anyone who shows up for the final race will get a swanky, official ArcticCross beenie, perfect for wearing under your helmet.

Overall standings are now available.

Perhaps more important, however, is the banquet that happens later that evening. We will be celebrating the end of the season at Chain Reaction Cycles later that day at 7:00pm. We will be supplying Moose's Tooth pizza and beer. Non alchoholic beverages will also be reluctantly available...just joking. Bring the family!

We'll have plenty of swag to give away, including a Ridley cyclocross frame. You must be present to win.
