Rocket Parts X-MAS-X

Corriganville Movie Ranch Park, Simi Valley, CA, December 23, 2001

It was Cyclocross California style at Rocket Parts Christmas Cross Dec. 23rd held at the legendary Corriganville Movie Ranch Park in Simi Valley. The sky was clear and sunny, the air a brisk 62 degrees and the competitors were ready to tangle. With the likes of Masters National Champion Allan Coates, Junior So. Cal. Champ Chance Noble and International crossers Kris Kringle and Elf the race was sure to entertain.
