Lets Go Racing!
May 17th - Nebraska State Time Trial Championship, Norfolk
Quick Updates!
Psycowpath Date Swap!
It has recently come to our attention that the traditional race course loop at L&C encroaches on private property in some places. The race course is being rerouted but will need a few more months for completion of a fun and challenging race loop. In September, riders can expect the classic L&C terrain, including miles of familiar trail as well as some freshly laid tracks that will offer a new spin on a classic venue. The Kanesville Krusher Lewis & Clark XC, now on September 27, will serve as the 2008 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series Final.
This Just In!
