Details
When: Sunday, October 2, 2022
Location: Orchard Hill, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA 01003
Course Description: The Ghosts CX race is back again to present the flowiest cyclocross race on the calendar. Race on the same grounds of Adam Myerson’s first American UCI race, and where many cyclocross legends dismounted and crushed apples under their tubulars! The 1.6 mile course has everything you want, speed, flow, technical features, downhill grey water slalom, and – due to lack of sand pit – a fierce dropped apple feature.
