Due to a change in ownership at Superstition Farms – the event has been cancelled. The new ownership has a different direction for the property and cyclocross is not part of the program.

Mark and Matt looked for a new venue – one that made sense competitively, operationally, financially and date-wise.

Many thanks to Matt and Mark for all their hard work in support of the Series – could not do it without them, Joey at the U of A and Josh.

Due to a scheduling error on the part of the venue – Horse Lovers Park – http://www.azhorseloverspark.org/ – we have had to change the date for the AZ CROSS/CRANKY CROSS event.

NEW DATE – Saturday November 29.

This is a flat fast, fun course. And a great venue….

Thank you.
