Fort Lewis Cycling's cyclocross team is heading to Hartford, Connecticut this week for the USA Cycling Championships of Cyclocross.
The Skyhawks have been competing in the championship event as a tea.
So close, and yet so far.
After suffering the disappointment of postponement and then cancellation last October, it almost feels cruel that the inaugural women’s Paris-Roubaix is ripped from our grasp again.
History should have been made this weekend, but COVID-19 had other plans for the third time inside of 12 months.
We’ve been waiting since 1896 for a women’s edition, what’s another six months between friends?
That a women’s Roubaix is even due to happen postponed or not feels like something special.
With a women’s Tour de France also penciled in for the 2022 season, it shows just how much momentum is behind the sport. Five years ago, it would have been hard to imagine that a women’s Roubaix would even be in the cards.
