District Championships Are Coming to CCCP!

Pilarcitos Cyclesports is proud to announce the 2006 Northern California/Nevada cyclocross championships will be held on Sunday, December 3 at one of our favorite courses – Coyote Point in San Mateo. With cooperation from the NCNCA and Northern California ‘cross promoters, CCCP will, for the first time, host one of the most important events on the race calendar. Previously the site of both UCI Cat. 1 & Cat. 2 races, in 2006 Northern California Championship medals will be awarded to Elite Women, Elite Men, Juniors, Master 35+, Master 45+ and Master 55+ divisions and will be combined with the final event of the 5-race Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross series, presented by Accelerade.

This fast, relatively soft course features the 80 yard “Ritchey Beach Run” and combined with winter high tide levels for events around the noon hour adds just another factor for NorCal ‘cross stars to conquer. Because of continual Park redevelopment and improvements this could be the last year that CCCP can be scheduled, depending upon the progress made in re-opening the Castaway restaurant. Our traditional “Bianchi Barricades” will also move slightly to adjust to new Park activities but the Start/Finish lines will remain the same.

CCCP has, over the past 4 years, seen many of the top US, Canadian, and Swiss stars compete alongside the shores of San Francisco Bay. Former Junior World ‘cross champ and multi-World Cup MTB winner Thomas Frishknecht is undefeated after 3 visits to CCCP. Since 2002 Lynne Bessette, Tim Johnson, Ryan Trebon, Todd Wells, Barry Wicks, Bart Bowen, Dale Knapp, Travis Brown, Erik Tonkin, Ann Grande (Knapp), Rhonda Mazza and Wendy Simms have challenged Northern California’s bevy of stars including Justin Robinson, Jackson Stewart, the Jacques-Maynes boys, Gina Hall, Barbara Howe, Sarah Kerlin, Melodie Metzger, Christine Vardaros, Rachel Lloyd, and Carmen D’Aluisio,
