Thoughts on Boulder Cup Cyclocross

 Boulder Cup CycloCross
The third annual Boulder
Cup cyclocross races were held in Boulder this past weekend. I'm
relatively new to the sport of cyclocross racing but I must say I was
quite impressed with the scope of the event, number of participants and
especially the crowds that came out to cheer on the cyclists.
Saturday's event was located at the Boulder Reservoir. A beautiful
setting along the water that provided a lot of sandy terrain making an
already difficult course all that much harder.
As if by magic, the
entire race course was moved overnight to South Boulder and Harlow
Platts Park behind Fairview High School.
I've got to commend the race organizers on organizing such a large
event in 2 locations! Sunday's crowd was much larger and laying the
course out on the hillside afforded great views of almost the entire
course. I found it exciting to be so close to the cyclists as the
zoomed by and you could really see how hard this type of racing is up
close and personal.
Located on the hill made it even more challenging
climbing up then flying down to what seemed impossibly tight turns
snaking back and forth across the park. Watching the elite men's race I
just marveled at the strength and endurance as these athletes race at a
breakneck pace for an hour. The crowd was very vocal and it really did
feel like a cycling carnival type atmosphere. Now I see why so many
cyclists and fans are starting to follow the sport and that it's
becoming the fastest growing segment of bike racing in his country. I'm hooked and look forward to watching the sport grow in popularity! - Donald C.
