Spooky Cross
Posted Oct 24, 2010
7,960
UPDATED 10/27/10 3:38 pm - The starting time for both days were updated. Noon on Sat and 10:00 am on Sunday. The Costume contest info was updated too.
Halloween is celebrated, in one form or another, all over the world. In Belgium people light a candle in memory of dead relatives. In Germany, they hide their knives (in case returning spirits find them). In Hong Kong, pictures of fruit or money are burned in hopes that they will reach the spirit world and comfort the dead. In Iowa, we race Cyclocross.
In its fourth year running, Spooky 'Cross
is the last two races in the Scheel's Central Iowa Cyclocross Series (CICS). The Spooky 'Cross races have been a top-notch event in the past,and for those of you who raced at Moffit Lake in the pouring rain three years ago, know how much fun a true Cross Course can be!
RACE DETAILS:
Whether you're a total newbie to 'cross or a seasoned crosser, this is the race for you. The scenic Living History Farms location provides an excellent backdrop for spending a weekend outside testing your own limits or relaxing with friends and family. Make sure you show up both days as the courses will be completely different. Races happen rain or shine.
SATURDAY

1. Head north on I-35 N 2. Take exit 125 for Hickman Rd/US-6 3. Turn right at Hickman Rd/US-6 4. Turn left at 111th St 6. follow signs for Living History Farms parking lot
SUNDAY
will start at 10:00 am on the north side (just opposite of last year): enter off of Douglas, just west of I-35/80.

HALLOWEEN
Guess what? Sunday, Oct 31st is Halloween!
Last year's Saturday race fell on the 31st and there were more spooks, ghosts and goblins on the course and sidelines that we knew what to do with. We expect more outta ya this year! We'll see if Mr. Nixon shows his creepy speedo again.
COSTUME CONTEST
I've heard rumors that the race promoters are working on a costume contest... What kinda creativity will make its way to the podium this year?
UPDATED 10/27/10 4:00pm:
It looks like the "3 Julie's" will be hosting the costume party! Best Costume each day will getcha a 12-pack of Spotted Cow (or Dutch Letters if you are underage/prego/non-drinker).
(CICS) Sunday Awards Ceremony
Sunday Awards
- After Sunday's races are over, stick around Living History Farms for the
Scheel's Central Iowa Cyclocross Series

CICS
and
Mullet's
