About Chicago Cyclocross Cup: the Chicago Cyclocross Cup was started in 2004 by
a group of ‘crossers from local teams that had a strong desire to race in
their neighborhood. They spoke to other people who had similar goals and before
you knew it a series was born. While the series will vary from year to year, you
can expect great new venues with spectacular support and all the fun that you
expect at a ‘cross race. The goal of the group is to create a series that a
rider can enjoy great competition and lively courses.
