CYCLO X Harlow Platts- September 17th, 2022
The 6-race Shimano CYCLO X Series is back for its 24th edition! The action starts at race #1 Harlow Platts! The Harlow Platts venue is set against the stunning flatirons, making it the ideal race to bring family and friends out for that weekend picnic as they watch the action. This course is primarily a grass lovers paradise, but we have some surprises this season, and don't forget about the never ending sand pits on the back stretch!

The new “color rush” start is designed to amplify the start-line adrenaline, align racers of the same ability and speed, and reduce lapping.
1) You will receive a newly designed and very bright color number based on your category. This will identify who’s in your specific category.
2) We will call up all athletes in your wave into the start grid based on USA Cycling Rankings. Then one whistle blast will send off the entire wave!
3) Results and awards will all be based on your unique category. For fun we will also produce a results list based off the entire wave.
