Regional/Cultural Day

Veldrijdwinter

Cyclocross season runs from October through February and Belgians treat it like a second religion. Mud, sand, barriers, and run-ups on a freezing Sunday morning with frites and pils in hand while riders slog through Flemish muck. Every Belgian cyclist has tried cyclocross at least once and most of them decided road racing was sufficient suffering.

Animals of Ethiopia Day

You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
