Cross on the Rock has got to be the best series anywhere. To give you a taste of the kind of community this series strives to build, here is a note that came with my registration confirmation...
"The course IS open between races for you to warm up….BUT the rule is. You never go a head of someone that is still racing—EVER. If you ARE following someone racing you better make that person feel like they have the BIGGEST fan club EVER and not like they are holding anyone up! You NEVER cross the finish line until there is a buffer from the last finisher in the race. No second chances. 1st offence is a DQ for that event. Respect."

Cross Underground, now known as Cross Club, takes place Wednesday evenings at 5:30. There are two races, B's go first at 5:30, A's go next at 6:00. A course is set up and there is wheel to wheel racing but there is no timing or results and it's very casual. Do as many laps as you can in 30 minutes or as few as you want. I rode last night with my 10 and 11 year olds.
The schedule:
Ride #1 - September 13th
Ride #2 - September 20th
Ride #3 - September 27th
Ride #4 - October 4th
(Please note: No ride on Oct 11th due to Cross on the Rock race on Monday, Oct 9th of that week)
Ride #5 - October 18th
Ride #6 - October 25th
Ride #7 - November 1st
The location of the ride is emailed out to registrants a day or two prior to the event. Register here:

If you haven't tried it I really encourage you to do so. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday mornings are pretty consistent outings with TS. There are a couple mountain bikes along so that is an option if you don't have a cross bike. Everyone is welcome.
