The team from Wild Trak Bikes Racing is putting on a cross clinic at the Rock Springs location, in Alton, Il, on this Wednesday night. The shop closes at 6pm, so the team will leave from the shop and be at Rock Springs around 6:10-6:15pm. The more riders the better.

Course is already setup.... Walked it tonight and it looks awesome. Hope eveyone shows up to start the season with cross in Alton. This will be the first ever offical race in Alton that I know of.

Then head to Hermann for Bearcat on Sunday.

Hope to see everyone in the morning.

Thanks to eveyone who came out. Hope everyone enjoyed the course and had a good time. Sorry it wasnt cross weather, not much anyone can do about that. I have MUCH respect for people who set up and break down cross courses, it really takes a lot of time. A big thanks to Jason at the shop for spending most of his Friday afternoon getting everything setup early. Thanks to all the other Wild Trak cronies for there efforts through out the day and in days prior.

I had a blast taking cross 101 from Mark and Jay. Cross hurts!!!
