Granogue is the private estate of the Dupont family, and they open it to the CX community for this weekend of racing.
Awesome for so many reasons, among them it's generous off camber riding, Granogue is a "cyclocross playground".

There will also be an expo with various companies present . Last year included bike companies, Revolution Wheel works , a local bookshop (I picked up a gem of an 80s autobiography by a rider in Iowa for...99 cents), and a couple of food vendors.

C men start order is based on registration date (other categories call ups are based on points).

Lots of Kissenas will be in attendance - be one of them!
Call ups for this race (for cat 4) are by order of reg.... so good to pre-reg early.

I'm pretty sure this was my favorite race weekend of they year. Some people stay overnight at a hotel. Close enough to stay in Phili if you have friends or family.

Prominent feature of the Granogue weekend is off-camber, riding up and down, sideways on a big hill.

I'm registered for both days as well.
I will be there both days also
I'm interested in racing cat4s @ Granogue but looking for a ride on both days. I'd be happy to help split cost of gas/tolls with teammates. Please contact me offlist tonaleclipse@gmail.com

Thanks
