HenBIKEo Brings Cyclocross to the Masses

Cyclocross will be taking over Crump Meadow this Saturday September 20, 2025 at 9:30 am – 5:00 pm.

What’s cyclocross? Arguably the most engaging and potentially goofiest form of bike racing, especially from a spectator’s point of view. CX racers make several loops on a winding course with various terrain and obstacles. Since the racers aren’t going all that fast, it’s a tradition for spectators to heckle them and give them “hand ups”, easily grabbable snacks or drinks or money.

Thank you to West End Heating & Air for providing a hand up station.

WeeWheel will be hosting the Lil Begiums Kids Races. Click here to register in advance.

Starting at 9:00 AM, Dentwood Coffee Co. and Waffles on Wheels will be serving coffee and food for purchase.
