If you are looking to get on the bike and start your cross season early- then the good folks at Raleigh and MFG Cyclocross should be on your Christmas list this year. This July you can race for an opportunity to be a part of the Raleigh Pro Team. Yep, the top elite rider (without a contract) will be offered a contract to ride with Raleigh Bicycles. Of course there will also be lots of great prizes for top riders off all categories including SS and Women’s. And it’s only $10. And I know there is a lot of camping in the area… It’s likely to be hot and dusty out there- so be prepared.
