IOWA: Urbandale - Survivor Cross - PHOTOSPHOTOS Nearly 200 racers competed in the first ever Survivor Cross held on a 7 mile, one lap course which included no less than eight (8) water crossings, some waist deep. "Fun and punishing course, glad I only had to do 1 lap!" Kinda looks like 'Cross Nationals held in Milwaukee back in the '80s.

ILLINOIS: Fox River Grove - Ski Jump Cross - PHOTOS Highly anticipated and highly approved of, the inaugural Team PSIMET Ski Jump Cross was a rousing success."Outstanding race today. So much fun. Great venue, great crowd, amazing
course. Thanks to all of the organizers for putting on what was probably
the most interesting and demanding race of the season." J.B.
"That venue is like made for cross races. Private land, owned by nice ski
club locals. (A couple of them actually raced, and a few neighborhood
kids raced as well.) Liquor license and a great natural bowl for
spectating. The terrain could be used to make totally different unique
courses each year. The course required a lot of finesse, and balance. Lots of short up and
downs, and great technical stuff. The good bike handlers really
separated themselves from the also-rans today." J.A.
