About This Site
Who we are, why this guide exists, and an important disclaimer about what we are not.
An independent guide to a sport we love
Southern Utah Cyclocross Guide is an independent, informational website about the sport of cyclocross in southern Utah and the surrounding Utah–Nevada desert. It is put together by cycling enthusiasts who think desert cross — racing when most of the country is buried in snow — is one of the best-kept secrets in American bike racing, and who wanted a clear, friendly place to explain it to newcomers.
Everything here is editorial: explainers on what cyclocross is, how a race day is organised, what the desert terrain is like, what gear makes sense, and how a beginner can get started. We write in general and historical terms about the regional scene because our goal is to help you understand the sport, not to sell you anything or sign you up for anything.
What we are not
Please read this carefully.
This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any cyclocross race series, promoter, cycling club, or event organiser. We are not an official event registrar. We do not organise, run, or host races; we do not sell entries or season passes; and we do not collect registration fees or process payments of any kind. Any race names, calendars, categories, points systems or results described on this site are presented as general or historical background only, and may not reflect any current or official event. Always confirm current details directly with the relevant organiser, venue, or governing body before making plans.
How we handle history
Southern Utah has a real grassroots cross history, and we draw on that heritage in general terms to describe what desert racing has been like over the years. We deliberately avoid presenting old schedules or results as if they were current or official, and we do not publish personal information about individual racers. When we mention past patterns — a typical short series, a holiday-themed race, the move to a better-draining venue when storms hit — we mean them as colour and context, not as a live record.
Accuracy and corrections
We aim to keep this guide accurate and genuinely useful. The sport evolves, regional scenes change, and we may get something wrong. If you spot an error or think something here is misleading, we would genuinely like to hear about it — see the contact page.
