CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Sunday was a terrible day to do just about anything outdoors in the Tennessee Valley – except for cyclocross.

Nearly 80 bicyclists muddied themselves to the eyebrows racing around the Bradley County’s Whitlock Park on a gloomy day that was not ideal for spectators but brought exciting conditions for a sport that is a mix between road and mountain biking.
