    Disclaimer:
    Bicycle racing is an inherently dangerous activity and is suitable only for the physically fit
    experienced cyclist. Cycling at night is also inherently dangerous. Cyclocross racing at night,
    while exhilarating, can be dangerous. Proceed at your own risk and remember that you are
    solely responsible and assume all risk for any property damage, personal injury and or death.

    Lighting:
    We light select sections of our course. We recommend handlebar bike lights for night racers.
    To avoid blinding oncoming riders, we do not allow headlamps.

    Philosophy:
    In 2009, with the gracious assistance of Candi & Mike Murray and Alpenrose Dairy, Tony Kic
    and Joe Field started the Blind Date at the Dairy as a fun, family friendly, weeknight, cyclocross
    training race series. We emphasize camaraderie and smiles in a low stress racing atmosphere on
    a free flowing cyclocross course at the unique Alpenrose Dairy. Ten years ago, Joe’s then 9
    year old son Rubin dreamed up this event. Our endeavor is for the Blind Date to help bring out
    the 9 year old in each of us!
