Animas High Ospreys Team up with Durango Cyclery to put on Muscle Cross

This Sunday the 5th, come down to Buckley Park and witness the fun of Cyclocross. As part of their class project, the Animas High Mountain Bike Class will be putting on the event along with Russ Zimmerman from the Durango Cyclery. The students have been working on the event for the past month with help from teachers Sarah Tescher and Chad Cheeney, local Durango Devo coaches. This is the final event in the line-up for the 2010 Fort Lewis Cycling Cyclocross series. There will be no FLCCX series points awarded at this race as the series ends on Saturday at the race up on the FLC campus. Muscle Cross is a fun race to celebrate the fun cross season, with a shorter course and some pretty silly sections, this final race will leave the racers smiling. Racing begins at 9am with the 5 lap Open MTB Category, open to anyone on a MTB. 9:30am will see the Free Kids Race take off, open to all kids 12 and under. No kid is too young as we will have helpers out on course to assist them in the obstacle sections. The Star Spangled Banner will start the 30 minute B Mens race at 10am to be followed by the 30 minute A Women’s race at 10:45 and the 40 minute A Men at 11:45. There will be no age group racing. Prizes and Medals for the MTB, Kids and B racers and cash money to the top 3 A Men and Women. Cost is Free for the Kids race, $10 for the MTB class, and $15 for all others. Live race announcing, teenage DJ, Hot Chocolate, Chiminea for warmth and plenty of oohs and ahhs! Come down to Buckley Coliseum this Sunday morning and have fun with the Animas High Ospreys!
