Chicago Cyclocross Cup 2008


The Chicago Cyclocross Cup was started in 2004 by a group of ‘crossers from local teams that had a strong desire to race in their neighborhood. They spoke to other people who had similar goals and before you knew it a series was born. While the series will vary from year to year, you can expect some great new venues with spectacular support and all the fun that you expect at a ‘cross race.
