When people heard that Rockburn was spawning a double, they thought we were nuts. They were right, but the result was an awesome weekend off sweet, sweet cross. But rather than take my word for it, read what other people wrote and see what other people saw. Keep scrolling, there is TONS of stuff.

"Couldn't have picked a better race to try out cyclocross than this weekend! Both races were soooo family friendly (key when you have 4 kids!) and full of twisty turny, mud cakey, grassy goodness! " - EstroJen

"great events! thanks for a great pair of races :)" - Marc G.
"Perfect Cx weekend! Thanks for organizing it." - Alain P.
"You folks put on a great race. The tweaks to the course were perfect. One of the best race courses this year." - Gary K.
"I've attended all of the Rockburn CX races so far as well as the MTB race in the spring. As long as you have these races, I'll be there. I especially liked the course change this year at Rockburn. The food vendors were pretty good and were not outrageously priced as had been the case at other races. You've got my vote with a 2 thumbs up! It was definitely a good weekend." - Jay D.
"Fantastic re-design of the course...All I heard were positive remarks from riders in all races. Well done!" - Matt H.
"Great job this weekend. Perfect weather, fun racing, pie. Thank you." - Bill S.
"Matt, I'm not sure if you promoted/organized both races this weekend, but they were both awesome! Thanks for the work you put into everything, both events are keepers with great courses, I'll definitely be back next year for both." - Neil S.
"It really had a great flow about the course. The transitions were much better than before. It was one of my top favorites of the year." - Dave W.
"Thanks again for putting together one of my favorite races of the year (Rockburn). My 26th place was not quite as good as my 3rd place finish last year in the Cat 4 race, but I moved up to the 35+ masters and those front dudes are just too fast for me.
"The new addition of Schooley Mill Park was great kind of. Now my wife wants to get a horse after seeing that facility! You know how many bikes you can get for the cost of 1 horse. Also, she now wants to move from downtown (Capitol Hill) to Howard County. I love that she comes to every race, but I did not anticipate having to pick-up house to move out to the country so we can have horses. Though the good thing would be that my commute to work at the Department of Commerce would be around 60 miles a day which is pretty nice for training purposes.
"Note: Pass along to the food vendors: Custard Creme pie is amazing and more Sweet Potato Fries. Dangerously Delicious pies should be a hallmark at every MABRA Race, I would like to have them at Hyattsville CX next year.
"Thanks again." - Ryan D.
"I did the Sun race--- I did last year too. love it. I liked the course this year. Will return if you do it in 2010. Thanks for putting it on." - Marni H.
