The Red Racer JunkYard Cross CX Race proved that like ducks to water, CX racers are to muck! 173 starters at that.

Saturday's atmospheric river did not spare us during setup and it had us thinking the unthinkable - do we cancel? But with the team on site with the unshakable drive to put on another great race, and the sudden surge in last day registrations, we knew we had only one option - THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

The morning racers had first crack to the course and with the day staying fairly dry, the course stayed in great condition. But with Race #4 and the large number of Master Men B and Super Master Men 55+, the course started to take a beating - then the clouds unleashed the rains and we had our muck on!  The Bond Training Mud Wall never looked so good! By Race #5, the Elites and Master Men A had the "best" CX conditions of the day! The bike wash station had a long line with more attention spent with the racers spraying the mud off each other than their bikes - thats just the CX scene we like to see.

Central City Brewers & Distillers brought out not only the beer and tents for the Red Racer Beer Garden, but the famous Norco Red Cruiser Bike with Ambassador "Betty" Madelaine. Betty presented each podium winner (of age) with a 4 pack of Central City's finest brew!  Thank You Betty!

Swag was in great supply from our many sponsors - THANK YOU. In the Race Village we had - The Bike Zone, Cannondale Bikes, Crank It Sports with SOX Footwear, Nitrolube, Blonyx Nutrition, BikeBac with Project 529. THANK YOU Easton Cycling, BC Bike Race, Tarin Wheels, Bond Training, Physiomoves, Fresh Slice, Double R Rentals. Drew Nelson from the Thrashers kindly brought his great sound system.

The one disappointing thing that the nasty weather unleashed upon us was the cancellation of the BC Ferry that was to bring our most excellent photographer Scott Robarts. Unfortunately he wasn't able to attend to take photos of those muddy racer faces. We hope to have better luck next time.

The Red Racer JunkYard Cross CX Race 2024 is on Sunday, October 20, 2024

Registration opens soon!

Is was a great day of CX racing at the Shed, with the Beginner and Intermediates in the first race, followed by the Experts.  We wrongly predicted the Experts to require 40 minutes to complete 10 laps and were off by a couple laps. So the Experts raced a 50 minute race for the winner but the rest of the field needed 55+ minutes. But it was a great warm up race for the CX season and there were nothing but smiles all around so all good in the end.

THANK YOU to Cap's South Shore Cycle who had 2 mechanics on site and were kept very busy. Cap's provided lots of great swag as well as a new bike trainer!.

All the results are on WEBSCORER.
