The vibe
Gorge views, mud-caked bikes
Cross Crusade is the granddaddy of Pacific Northwest cyclocross, and the Cascade Locks stop puts the season opener right in the Columbia River Gorge — scenery most bike races can’t compete with. It’s the kind of course where you’ll want to look up between corners, if you can spare the attention.
Cross Crusade races draw huge, welcoming fields across every category, from first-timers to elite racers, so don’t let the series’ long history intimidate you into skipping it.
