Guru's Gravel Grinders

This is the first of a dozen Gravel Grinders during this winter.

What: Guru Gravel Grinder #1
When: Sunday, December 20, 2009 - 10:00 am start time
Where: Start at E.H. Young Riverfront Park, Riverside MO
Who: Any and all are welcome
Why: Because there is way too much pavement in the world

Route: A mix of gravel, levee and back country roads. Mostly road, but plenty of gravel to keep us sane. Some hills will be climbed. You will experience some discomfort depending on pace. We will try and stay off any high traffic roads. Any road bike with a good sturdy set of wheels can be used. Cross bike preferred, but not required. Distance from E. H. Young is about 38 miles.

This is a Show-N-Go ride, please bring food/water and anything you require.

The First Chris Cross

Just a little history of the Chris Cross event. Gerard Arantowicz of the Cow Town Cycling Team and founder of Jewel Cartoons, started this event back in 2001. Gerard was one of the few cyclocross promoters back then and has been promoting event since he moved here from Pennsylvania

Over the next 8 years the event was held at Clinton Lake State Park. A super fun courses (if you like gravel like me:-)) in and around campground #1. After a short hiatus, in 2006 the Chris Cross event was back in full swing as part of the Cow Town Cyclocross Series, which is now the De Stad Cyclocross Van Kansas Series.

This year the event moves to the University of Saint Mary to start a new tradition.
