3rd Annual Town Hall Cross Now Open for Registration

Third Annual Town Hall Cross

www.townhallcross.com

Presented by: Lamprey Systems Cycling Team and Cutters Bike Shop

Round 1 of the PA Cross Series & Round 2 of the 2nd stop of the Singlespeed Cyclocross Super Prestige

Date: Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012   -   RAIN OR SHINE EVENT

Course Description:

Classic cyclocross course with at least one set of barriers and variable terrain including grass, pavement, and gravel. There are some good elevation changes within the park and we will feature the "St. Lukes Staircase". You may ride it the first lap, but will you be able to ride it the whole race? The 2-3 KM closed course makes it great for spectators. Course will be flowing and difficult, making use of natural run-ups, off cambers sections, and endless cornering. Look for some wide open power sections and enough technical riding to make it a true crosser's course.
