It is with sad hearts that we close the books on another great season of MSG racing. From all the racers, we extend a sincere thank you to all the venues, sponsors, and people who worked so hard to make it a reality. An extra special thank you to Dwayne and his minions for the great courses and race organization. We hope to continue the tradition of the largest cyclocross series in TN next year! Enjoy the off season….

Here at MSGCross, we strive to keep things fresh and new. Old favorite venues like Steele Creek Park and Winged Deer Park got left off the schedule this year, and we picked up a new one. This past weekend’s race at Sugar Hollow Park was a blast and had some features never before seen at an MSG course. The woods section definitely favored crossers with a mountain bike pedigree, but overall, it was the same old fun you’ve come to expect!

That said, the results from MSG #7 are up and the overall results have been updated. See you in December at the UCI race at Domtar Park in Kingsport, TN.

Our new venues Sugar Hollow Park is ready to go. Please get there early as mentioned in the previous post. Long technical course, with a fairly rooty trail section. Going to be a great race.

MSG is winding down with only two races left, but NCCX is just getting started. This Sunday after MSG #7, NCCX will be in Boone, NC and next Sunday in Salisbury, NC (2.5 hours from JC). NCCX is as good or better than MSG, we learned our cross racin’  from them. They support us, so please go support them. NCCylcocross.com

Sugar Hollow Park is a new venue for us and presents some logistical concerns that we don’t normally deal with. The parking lot, and bathrooms are about  4 tenths of a mile from the course, which is up to the left side of the dam in the woods. Give yourself plenty of time to get there, park, register, go to the bathroom, an take your pit bike to the pit. Warming up across the top of the dam will give you a good warm up and you can get back to the course quickly.

Registration will be near the base of the dam under the Piney Flats Bikes tent.

Also, be aware that a 5 k run will be finishing in the vicinity of the parking lot, so please be courteous to the runners.

Hello Folks, this Saturday will be our Halloween race, so wear a costume if you want. Top three costumes will win a prize. 1st place will receive a pair of Crank Brothers Candy pedals. No bonus points this year due to so many logistical errors last year.

The October 29th race will be our annual costume race, but this year things are a little different. Rather than points for wearing a costume, we will be give a great prize for the best costume! Check back for a later post on what the prize will be.
