WISCONSIN: Milwaukee - Cross the Domes. RESULTS  Absolutely perfect weather greeting riders for the first WCA race of the 'Cross season. Early pix are in on FB from Melissa Putzer. Results are notable for having 64 racers in the Cat. 4 race. Congratulations to Samantha Schneider (TIBCO) and Brian Matter (Gear Grinder) in their victories in the Pro 1/2 fields.

The series continues today, and I think this photo, taken this morning for the River Hill Park CX, is the first time SRAM has ever been in Kewaskum!

WISCONSIN: Hudson - Hudson Double Cross - RESULTS Part of the Minnesota Cycling Federation series, but held just across the Mississippi, this was day one of the two day series. MCF writes: "It was a beautiful sunny day with light winds, and cool temps. The course layout was significantly different than last year, eliminating the single track and "ditch of death" that everyone seemed to complain about last year. They added more off camber, and a hard run-up. The sandy uphill was back, along with the tough grind up to the finish.  That, combined with the uneven prairie ground made for a particularly tortuous course. You could see the "hurts so good" look on riders faces as they rode through the finish area each lap."

The Category 4 field began with 54 riders, 40 in the Cat. 3.

IOWA: Pella - Dirty Wooden Shoe PHOTOS RESULTS Bike Iowa writes: "Another Great day of Iowa Cyclocross.  A little morning rain, didn't hold back 70+ racers a the inagural "Dirty Wooden Shoe" near Pella today. A deceptively twisty course proved to be tougher than most thought as the soft ground, tight turns and run-ups ate up one's energy with each lap.  KUDOs to the race organizers (David & Jacob) of the Pella Racing Team for putting on a great race today.
