Things last if you remember them. ✨

Here's to all the folks who laid the track we're following. All of the Mandrolas and Bobrows and Abners... And Hanscoms and Bruces and Hewitts and Murphs and Barbs and Lindas and Fagerbergs and Websters and Honey Badgers and Colonels and.... and...

"HONORING TRADITION AND BREAKING NEW GROUND.

After 16 years as “Storm Eva Bandman/the Greens”, it’s time for a change.

Today, the “Eva Bandman ‘Cross Classic” era begins, thanks to the 80+ members, donors, fans and partners of the 501c3 nonprofit Louisville Cyclocross Collective.

We’re keeping this early season course fast and flowy like the mighty Ohio.

We’re racing across the Mandrola mounds -the first-ever “feature” at Eva back in 2010.

We’re keeping it simple and lean like Bobrow and Abner taught us.

But we’re also lowering the barriers for new racers and revamping the vibe.

Come celebrate the history and the future of cyclocross at Eva Bandman Park."

We are in need of permanent, secure storage nearby Bandman for our trail gear, lawn mower, race equipment (sooo many stakes and cones), old kit, race production equipment, banners AND our new (to us) 6x10’ trailer*.

We’d love to just park and store this with a friendly local business who can spare the space for their favorite 501c3 nonprofit! OR if there is one kindly soul out there who would be interested in donating cash to pay for storage, that would be amazing too.

Can you help? Please hit us up at [email protected].

This would be a MAJOR STEP in us being able to host races and events and maintain Eva Bandman Park.

* did we mentioned we purchased a 6x10’ trailer? This is huge! Thank you to everyone who became a member, paid race fees or donated.

Let's GOOOOOO!

CARTER CX IS CHANGING IT UP!

You’ve raced the spiral.
You’ve survived the heckle zone.
You think you know what CarterCX is all about?

THINK AGAIN….

This year, we’re saying goodbye to the iconic spiral and bringing a brand-new course layout to Carter Park!

New lines!
New challenges!
New opportunities to send it!

But don’t worry… we’re keeping everything that makes CarterCX CarterCX — fast racing, technical CX, loud fans, team tents, hand-ups, and the HECKLE ZONE!

And there’s no better place to kick things off…

CarterCX is the FIRST STOP of the OVCX Race Series!

Come see the new course.
Come race it.
Come heckle it.
Come be part of it.

NEW COURSE. SAME ENERGY.

Who’s ready to see what we’ve cooked up?

THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…CROSS IS COMING!

And it’s starting with 🔥 hot laps 🔥, starting Wednesday July 29! Burn in Eva Bandman, train with your friends, and weekend races won’t be no thing but a chicken wing.

From the fastest of the fast to newbs giving it a go, all skills are welcome. The more folks that show up, the more experience-specific groups we can create!

⭐️ STAY TUNED for skills clinics! Don’t have a cross bike? Try a gravel bike, mountain bike, or if you’re crazy like that, throw some cross tires on your track bike maybe 🤷‍♀️.

“Hot laps”, “tempo laps”, “spicy laps”…call it what you want, “we’re talking about practice”.
