Cyclo-X:

Sunday November 21st saw the ACA Colorado Cup series visit the Union Reservoir in Longmont for the Cyclo X cyclocross race. The all weather course at the reservoir had a bit of everything; fast grass, pavement, beachfront, and even a BMX track!


Ed Tokarski finished 14th in the 35+ field while Blaine Haskell finished 12th in the Single Speed competition.


Alpha Cross:
Race number 2 of the Alpha Cross series was on November 20th at the Arapahoe County Community Park in Centennial. The course was billed as a true "Euro style" course that traveled 90% over grass and had great flow. Brain Krombein led home all Green Mountain Sports racing team members with a 10th place finish in the 35+race.




Also racing 35+ was Ed Tokarski, who finished in 19th place.



Racing in the 35+/Cat.4 race were Chris Shamis and Todd Reisinger.


While Craig Hofer competed in the 45+ race.




New Belgium Cup:
Big time cyclocross racing came to the Front Range once again with the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross visiting Fort Collins on November 13th and 14th. The USGP of Cyclocross for 2010 is an 8 race series which travels to Madison, WI, Louisville, KY and Portland, OR in addition to Fort Collins. The USGP races around the country have been drawing the deepest, fastest and strongest fields anywhere in the US.

For the weekend's races, conditions were cold and muddy in Fort Collins, a welcome ? change from the warm and dry conditions earlier this Fall. Competing for the GMS racing team on Saturday were Craig Hofer who finished 15th and Mike Schaub who finished 54th in the 70 racer 45+ field. Ed Tokarski raced in the 60 racer Cat. 2/3 field, finishing in 20th place. Then, on Sunday, three GMSR racers competed in the 57 racer 45+ field with Craig Hofer finishing 17th, Mike Schaub 34th and Pieter Schouten 35th.
