The Belgians Are Back for DCCX!
Belgium has ale, frites, waffles, the European Union and -- as every cyclist knows -- cyclocross. In a historic arrangement again this year, the Belgian Embassy will be a sponsor of the “Lil’ Belgians” kids race at the October 25 DCCX cyclocross race. The kids, age three to nine, will take spins around the short track next to the DCCX course at the Armed Forces Retirement Home. Every participant is a winner, earning some chocolates for themselves.
Just as it was last year, the kids race is being organized again this year by Joel Gwadz, author of a famous bike blog Gwadzilla, father of two boys and a man not afraid to race in a cheerleader's outfit. Unlike last year, the Belgian truffles and Cote d’ Or chocolates, which are donated by the embassy, will be shared with a few lucky winners of the men's and women's races that day. Other swag for winners includes beer from Blue Ridge Restaurant on Wisconsin Ave, bike gear from Family Bike Shop in Crofton, Maryland and gift certificates for Stickey Fingers bakery in Mt. Pleasant. Elite men and women winners earn cash.

DCCX - Presented by Family Bike Shop - is Washington, DC's only cyclocross race. The third-annual event will be held on October 25th on the grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home. The historic venue near Georgia Ave. in northwest Washington is transformed for the race into a festival celebrating biking and the sport's northern European roots.
The race, organized by the DCMTB team, is part of the nine-part series of the Mid-Atlantic Bicycle Racing Association. DCCX registration opened last month and there are already 334 pre-registered racers.
Proceeds from the race are donated to help veterans living at the facility, which is off-limits to the general public the rest of the year.
