Yes indeed. The team has received the green light to host a 'cross race on that beautiful swath of grass located between Williams Road and Nursery Road on Ft. Sam Houston. The date is January 13, the day after the State Championship race at University of Incarnate Word. iDiot and I rode the course the other day, and it is awesome. The course is situated smack dab in the middle of a broad, gentle hill, so lots of climbing and descending will be the order of the day. The military was even kind enough to install concrete obstacles that will work nicely as a flyover. Expect a good, long run-up as well.
The best part is that the race will benefit the Fisher House at BAMC (the same place to which Denzel Washington donated a lot of money after visiting last year). The Fisher House is a housing complex for family members of wounded soldiers undergoing treatment at BAMC. This allows wounded soldiers to have their family living nearby without having to incur additional living expenses.
Here is a map of the course for now:
