2018 SE-WYO-CX race #2 recap



Holy Cow!
40 + rider came out to play on a gorgeous October Sunday in Cheyenne, WY to battle a truly testing course as well as each other in the 2018 Southeast Wyoming Cyclocross Series race #2.
The capital city reasserted itself as the CX capital of Wyoming as 20 racers from Cheyenn came out to represent.  Laramie has clearly been bitten by the CX bug as they produced 15 riders - again to a CX race and notable racers include two 'speedgoats' Tristin Smith and San Fay, who both placed in the top 5 on the day.
