Sunday August 24th, 2014

Get ready for the Kruger’s Kermesse Encore – CX Farm Crit & Bike Relay. This ever-popular off-road bike race will be staged on Sunday August 24, 2014 at Kruger’s Farm in the beautiful countryside of Sauvie Island (just 20′ from downtown Portland)!

Like we did at the spring edition back in May, we are adding a 2-person team relay race option to the mix, so you will be able to choose between racing solo for 45′, racing with a buddy for 60′, or – even more fun – do both!

Note: While this race is called a farm crit, it is nothing like a road criterium. The race is open for racers of all ages and all abilities and feels more like a fast and non-technical cyclocross race over hard-packed farm roads, featuring some potholes, some ruts, a sprinkle of gravel, a bit of sand, and depending on the weather, possibly some mud. However, everything will be 100% rideable (no barriers or dismounts). Just think about it as Portland’s mini-version of Paris-Roubaix, sans cobblestones.
