Red Barn 2009

2009 will mark the 5th annual Red Barn CX classic! Even though it's only February, we're getting excited for this year's race. In order to celebrate 5 great years of racing and the face that the Red Barn CX classic has become one of the premier cyclocross events in Minnesota, we plan to pull out all the stops! It would seem fate has smiled on us as well as this year's race will fall on Halloween day! We'll be upping the ante in this year's costume contest. You may even want to start thinking about costume ideas now.

Get out and vote!

Record Year at Red Barn

Things just keep getting better! The 2008 Red Barn CX was another record breaking year. We had 203 race entries with over 190 participants. Just four years ago we only had around 100 participants. We are thrilled to have doubled the number of riders at Red Barn in just four years!

A huge thanks to all of the volunteers and Red Barn organizers - without their hard work this great event would not be possible. Please show them your support with a comment or quick note about your experience at Red Barn.

Links and race reports will be posed shortly.

For results, check the MCF message board. In addition, results will be posted to the Gopher Wheelmen site shortly.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to today's event. Please send us a link to your race report or photos: erik.shana@gmail.com!
