August 23 - Points Series #10 - Cape Race, Cape Girardeau, MO

Come one come all! Let's see some support for Schlafly and get some of us idiots to the race! Should be a great race.

Event Highlights: The CYCLEWERX Crew is looking forward to bringing you another great race. We have changes this year as we have an entirely new and exciting venue.Klaus Park is the setting for this years race, and it is easy to find and easy to get to with close proximity to Interstate 55. The Course: It is a fast and flowy hardpacked singletrack trail with virtually no rocks and only a few exposed roots, and the race loop will be approximately 3 ½ miles long, virtually all singletrack. There are three (3) climbs, one of which is an old gravel road bed, while the others are sweet singletrack. The Park: We will have plenty of schwag and a fun atmosphere with music and much more. The park has several covered pavilions with BBQ grills as well, and it is a very shaded park with large old growth trees which provide a beautiful setting for a race. There are nice clean restroom facilities (not Porta-Potties) and the park provides excellent opportunities for spectators to view racers often. Concessions will be provided by Burrito-ville, one of our great sponsors. There aren't any convenience stores or restaurants at this exit so you might want to come prepared, but we will have Powerade, water, energy drinks, coffee and possibly some hot dogs for sale in addition to the concessions offered by Burrito-ville. Race Times: 11:00 am Beginners race for 1 hour $25 Marathon race for 3 hours $25 12:30 Sport race for 90 minutes $25 Expert / Pro for 90 minutes $30 SS for 90 minutes $25Directions to Klaus Park: The park is located next to I-55 at exit # 99 (Cape Girardeau/Jackson.) At the exit, head West (that would be a right for people coming in from the North off of I-55) onto Highway 61/34. Once you take the exit and begin heading west immediately get into the left lane as you need to take the first left onto Wedekind Rd. After crossing the highway, Wedekind Road comes to a "T" intersection 3 way stop. Take a left turn at the stop sign and go approximately a ½ mile to the Park entrance on the left. Additional parking will be available across from the entrance to the park.
