Largest Field Of The Day Set To Go

Exactly 120 riders are toeing the start line for the final race of the day. The "feels like" temperature is 28 degrees. Topeka, Kan., resident Steve Tilford is the favorite, having already won four national titles. Last week, he traveled to Tulsa, Okla., and won the Oklahoma state cyclocross race.

A large crowd has gathered around the barriers surrounding the first turn of the race, which is just after the finish line, and about 250-300 meters from the starting grid.
