The first two weekends of November featured the West Chester Cross Classic at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show. A cyclocross race, a type of bicycle race, consist of many laps of a short course featuring pavement, trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike while navigating the obstruction and remount. Races are generally between 40 minutes and an hour long, with the distance varying depending on the ground conditions.
