User:Jkstrader/YettiCross

YettiCross is a cyclo-cross race series based in Houston Texas held over an eight week period during the months of September and November. The series captures 100 percent of Houston's local bike race scene. Currently in it's fifth season the number of racers and spectators grows 20 percent per year. In a city that has been labeled "the fattest city in America" YettiCross provides a refreshing entertainment opportunity for people to come expend some calories and experience community. It's much like the CrossCrusade Cyclocross Series in Portland Oregon with less mud.
