11.30: GENE GALINDO MEMORIAL TURKEY TROT CROSS:
Preview TTCX COURSE
| That's right! As the buildup to this Thanksgiving classic race begins, I've put up a VERY detailed course map of this year's course! Some things are similar to years past but there's one exciting new addition that could be a game changer! Also, though the race is known for its twists and turns, this year it's ever so slightly twistier and turnier which will reward those with the ability to pick the right line and accelerate repeatedly! Check everything out at www.verdugocycling.com See you on November 30th! Matt Gunnell Race Director |
