On the show today is Brannon Pack. Brannon is the Director of Cycling Tourism in Fayetteville, Arkansas. If you haven’t been to Fayetteville yet, get it on your calendar! They are nestled in the Ozark Mountains and offer some of the best mountain biking in the nation, with easy access trails that are well constructed and well maintained. They are a designated Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists and in addition to mountain biking, they offer about any kind of cycling you may be into, including a 50 mile protected paved path. For only the second time on U.S. soil – Fayetteville is set to welcome the world for the 2022 Walmart UCI Cyclo-Cross World Championships! Cyclo-cross is one of the best fan friendly styles of bike racing with athletes racing on grass, sand, mud while having to overcome obstacles that may require carrying the bike. All this is happening while fans are able to get up close to cheer on their favorites. As Brannon says, cyclo-cross celebrates the wilder side of racing, with fans in the mix.
