leeds horse farm

Viola Springs Farm



walked the property yesterday with the owner. i had some fears of parking and course layout being an issue before i got there. let me just say that there will be no issues here. this may be the perfect cross venue. the doctor who owns the property has held several 5k cross country runs and is fired up about cross. There are several wide trails, open easment areas and even a sand pit!!! the course we laid out for the october races should be a really good one to break everyone in to the cross season- not technical, wide open and only a mild leg breaker. it will be an even mix fitness vs. skills.

It looks like the series is shaping up with Anniston and Montgomery taking on one of the races each. Patrick from Wig's wheels in Anniston and Team Cycle Escape in Montgomery are putting together the details of their races. So our tentative schedule will go as follows:

10/15 - leeds horse farm
10/22 - leeds horse farm
11/5 - leeds horse farm
11/12 - anniston
12/3 - montgomery - Fain Park
12/17 - trussville or leeds horse farm (state championship)
