Lety - We(Neil/with family in tow) raced Muckenthaler last season , It's Cross - so to put it simply road bikes on grass and dirt with obsticales.The race course is on the grass, up and down the grounds. It was really cool, you could see the course from almost every advantage.

Last year was just the 1st cross race of the season, not the fun filled 2 day event. It was really fun and looks like more fun will be had this year. My family will be there for sure, Neil races cross and I belive this will be his 1st race of his season.

Maybe we'll see you there!
