🔔 MUD. COWBELLS. CYCLOCROSS.
For this , we're going back almost 15 years to the Arkansas Super-Prestige Cyclocross Series.
Cold rain, muddy courses, night racing, strange venues, plenty of heckling and a community that showed up weekend after weekend. These races were also a big part of the early days of Arkansas Outside.
We miss this series. And yes, we still have the cowbells.
