Halloween Cyclocross Race at Washington Park

Oct 30, 2005, Milwaukee, WI

The second annual Washington Park Halloween Cyclocross Race was held under blue skies and 60 degree temps. This race was the fifth of eight races in the Wisconsin Cycling Association cyclocross series. The race is put on by the Velo Trocadero cycling squad as a fundraiser for the team and also supports the WCA and the Matt Wittig Memorial Fund (Matt was a very talented and kind racer who was killed in a crash earlier this year). The race went without a hitch and saw the largest number of racers in any Wisconsin Cyclocrosss race to date with 194 racers. Many of the
194 racers were donned in Halloween costume.

The race is a challenging course with a hill run up and a bumpy lunar landscape section which took it out of you lap after lap. Washington Park, where the race was held, was laid out by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, who also built New York's famed Central Park.
