Tom Carter (left) racing FoCo style cx at Rolland Moore Park- Fall 1992. This course might have a feature very similar to that. The weather looks great for Sunday the 15th of November so we’ve decided to have a fundraiser for Tom Carter the best way we know how, we’re hosting a CX race. Here are the high points.
Tom Who?
Anyone who has raced the Bee Farm road races, worked with CX of the North, or been involved with the local cycling community for any amount of time knows Tom Carter. Not only is Tom Dad to 2 awesome kids, he is a good guy who is always volunteering his time to make things happen for others. He helps with the local wounded rider program, runs bake sales to raise funds for cycling teams, and is always available to help when folks are in need. Now our friend Tom is the one in need.
Tom was hospitalized last week after rupturing his esophagus. He had surgery and part of his lung was removed. It is going to be a long and expensive road to recovery for Tom. Besides requesting the obvious prayers and positive thoughts to bring him through his ordeal, we are raising funds to help him with the medical costs that are being incurred for his care and recovery. 100% of race entry fees will be passed along to Tom.
Location
The brand new course is located at the intersection of Larimer County Roads 60E and 21 (North on Taft Hill, left on 60E, left on 21). You’ll see parking to the South. It will feature creek crossings, natural sand, run ups and maybe even a flyover.
