CCCX #3 Sunday Nov. 26
From Dusty Downs:
Central Coast Cyclocross This Sunday Nov. 26 At Manzanita Park
Happy Thanksgiving to all, the Central Coast Cyclocross series is hosting its race #3 this Sunday Nov. 26th at Manzanita Park in Prunedale. This gives everyone a chance to race off their Thanksgiving feasts and have some fun at this great Cyclocross venue. The course will be similar to race #1 that was held this Sept., but there will be some new editions to test your fitness and Cross skills. The course will be a little longer then previous routes and a new run up will be added. The weather forecast, according to Tom Simpson's and Dave Carr's National Weather Service web page calls for possible precipitation on Sunday. This could be a real Thanksgiving treat if weather becomes a issue and the course gets a little damp! Please go to cccx.org for all race information.
The CCCX series has used Manzanita Park for Cross races since 1997, and the NCNCA Districts for Cyclocross have also been held there in 2000. Here is a list of top finishers at those NCNCA District Championships back in 2000-
Gold Silver Bronze
Category A Men Ben Jacques-Maynes Andy Jacques-Maynes Justin Robinson
Espoir Men Jackson Stewart Devon Vigus Jay Whalen
Junior Men Skyler Bishop John Hyeglund Frank Shonig
Category A Women Christine Vardaros Shelly Whisenhant Sarah Kerlin
Category B Women* Melanie Dominguez Karen Nordstrom Sarah Bamberger
Master Women 35-44 Linda Elgart Marguerite Meyer Sheila Moon
Master Women 45+ Jenny Frayer
Junior Women Alyson Lowery
Master Men 35-44 Pat Schott Jeff Caton Rob Meighan
Master Men 45-54 John Elgart Henry Kramer Tom Regan
Master Men 55+ Gary Noe Mike McDonald
Category B Men* Simon Vickers Dean Dealy Robert Barber
Category C Men* Steve Hatter John Fuentes Steve Cartwright
It is nice to see many of the names listed still racing so well! Take note that The Jacques-Maynes were just coming into power control of the affairs in the A fields. Now both Ben and Andy are national figures on the Elite USA circuit for Cyclocross. Jackson Stewart was the Espoirs Champion, and this season won a NRC ranked Road event. Sarah Kerlin was 3rd in the A Women, and she was the winner at the first race at Manzanita Park this year. Simon Vickers was the B men winner, and now is one of the top Elite Men riders. And take a look....... John Elgart put it to Henry Kramer relegating him to 2nd in the 45+ division. Henry Kramer just finished off a incredible weekend of racing in the Northwest and has developed into one of the top 50+ Master racers in the world! I count four individuals on this list who went on to claim National Titles for Cyclocross in their respected age group.
The CCCX promoters hope the NorCal Cyclocross racers take advantage of the opportunity to compete at this event, and we wish a safe and happy Holiday season to everyone!
See you at the races, and good luck to all at the District Championships held next weekend at Coyote Point in San Mateo!
