Colorado’s premier cyclocross weekend returns November 1 and 2 at New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins. Cross of the North will feature racing for all ages and abilities on a course similar to the Send Town Dirt Pile races, with a few new twists planned for the USAC weekend.

Even if you’re not racing, plan to come out as a spectator or volunteer. The event will include food and coffee trucks, a beer garden, and a full vendor area.

If you can only make it for a race or two, on Saturday the women’s open race starts at 2:10 and the men’s open race follows at 3:15. On Sunday the men’s open race starts at 2:10 and the women’s open race at 3:25. The free kids’ races take place earlier in the day and are always fun to watch. There’s no charge to attend.

The full schedule is below.
