Course Description

Brand new spectator-friendly course on the legendary Xilinx campus. Includes sand, stairs, and double-sided pit. The Blue Sky Velo Cup opens up a weekend of top level racing on Halloween in Longmont, just a few miles from Boulder. The Blue Sky Velo Cup was the highest attended cyclocross race in Colorado in 2008 with close to 600 racers. Saturday's race at the Xilinx campus is a Colorado favorite and host of past national level racing and the Colorado state championships. The course is physically, technically, and mentally demanding and who knows what ghosts and goblins will be lurking around.
