Fresno will close down their Cross racing this Sunday with the Homegrown Series final event at Woodward Park.  Race route designer Justin Morgan throws down incredible courses and always does his very best to put riders to the test and put to rest any doubt of his quest, which is great times for all racing Cross.

Meanwhile... Fresno legend J.P. Sickler has a tremendous skill level

for hosting great events like the "Lou Night Race Cross Festival".  His dedication and hard work then transcends to each and every
