Solon CX
CRC hosted its 4th CX race this year with it being hosted for the 2nd time in Solon, OH. The weather was great and we were able to host nearly 100 racers for the day. We also are proud to say we had 24 one-day license racers @ Solon. We hope they enjoyed it enough to purchase a license for next year and begin racing more often. We will again be using the profits from the race along with the Chippewa Creek 2011 race to donate to a local charity this year.
Already looking forward to competing again next year in NEOCX 2012!
