Last Saturday saw some Crank Cross racers flying!

Great photo montage by 📸 Adam Watson

Cyclocross is a bit silly, but it leads to some great pictures! 😂

Our final "podium series" is from the free Kids race. What a blast to see all of the fun filled faces of the littlest CX racers conquer the Kids course. Seeing some of the bigger kids help the little ones over the barrier planks was adorable! Action pics coming soon!

Our A Race Block was presented by Clever Fox Cyclery in Auburn Hills. It was wonderful to have them join as a presenting sponsor and have their mechanics on site to support our racers with last minute repairs and adjustments.

A Race Block - A Women, A Open & A Open 50+

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa - Rochester Hills, MI and Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa were the sponsors for our next block of races, the B Races: B Women, B Open and B Open 50+.

Wow! What a day Morning Cranks had on Saturday at Crank Cross Cyclocross Extravaganza 2025! We had a blast and sure hope you all did too!

Thanks to everyone involved that made it a special day
- all the racers that showed up
- all of our sponsors
- our timing company (Ignite Your Event)
- our food truck (KDub's Grill)
- and of course thanks so much to all of our volunteers (30+)
Without any one of these, Crank Cross wouldn't be a thing!

After having a day to recover and do some bike riding to clear our heads, we will be making some posts today and over the next few days to share some info, recap the day and start looking forward to the next MICX race, Detroit Invitational of Cyclocross. We will have podium pics up soon, and we expect to have a few photo galleries shared in the coming days as well.

First order of business - Lost & Found. Not bad, only 2 water bottles. If these are yours either message us here or email us through the BikeReg event.
