Now I just need to find a location. I'm going to do a TT on Saturday morning, dirt crit on Saturday afternoon, and a traditional cross race on Sunday. All on cross bikes.
Woohoo! Sign me up . While ours was an on/off road stage race, I think your idea for a full-on 'cross stage race is great! The TT effort should be relatively short, time wise (not a lesser effort, by any means!). We started the TT at 10:00 am, and I think we were up, down, changed and packed up by 11:30 which worked out well for a venue change and 2:00 pm start for the crit. Of course, it all depends on how many participants you get.

If you want to bounce ideas around, let me know. This sounds like a GREAT concept!
