Off-road bikers crave this time of the year. It's cyclocross season, time to get muddy and have some fun doing it. This Sunday, the four-event Rockford Cyclocross Series continues at Page Park, on Springfield Avenue, a mile north of U.S. 20 in Rockford. Cyclocross courses include obstacles, which require dismounting from time to time.
Races are for a specified lengths of time rather than specified distances.
In the series opener on Nov. 5, more than 150 people competed. The Rockford schedule for Nov. 19 is as follows. An awards ceremony will follow the competition. Other Rockford dates are Dec. 3 and Dec. 17.
