Gateway 'Cross - Planet Bike Cup - Worlds Report

WISCONSIN: Madison - Word from the race site is that the course is tacky but drying. So, while it may be raining quite a bit where you are (as it is here in Milwaukee, complete with thunder), it appears to be a great day at the USGP Planet Bike Cup. In fact, check out this FB video  uploaded just a few minutes ago. The sun is shining! Don't forget to check out the live streaming video this afternoon courtesy of CyclingDirt.Com.
  

MISSOURI: St. Louis - 2011 Gateway 'Cross - More photos are appearing from this inaugural event. Check out this great set from Rob Ballou of University City, MO. and some more from Jeff Yielding.
