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!

- more varied terrain
- the return of the "clover leaf of confusion"
- our signature run-up (which is in need of a nick-name)
- increased length
