2007 CCCX Cyclocross Series Opens At Manzanita Park This Sunday
2007 CCCX Cyclocross Series Opens At Manzanita Park This Sunday
Starting at 9:00 a.m., this Sunday- Sept 23, the Men's- C division and the Junior racers will kick off the action of the 2007 CCCX cyclocross series. This will be the 56th Cyclocross race in the history of The Central Coast Cyclocross Series. The main events of the day will be the Elite Women's race at 12:15 p.m., and the Elite Men's race at 1:15 p.m.
Also, for 2007 the CCCX Cyclocross Series, I am proud to announce two brand new divisions for Northern California racers. Starting at 12:15 p.m. there will now be a Single-Speed Women's Division, and a 45+ Women's Division. These two "Super Prestigious" categories are a first for Nor-Cal, and will highlight some great racing action. They will join the rest of the female racers who start at 12:15 p.m. The CCCX Series was the first Northern California Series to have a Single-Speed division(2001), and Women racing in their own time slot on track time dedicated just to their groups(2000). New divisions bring new opportunities for racing exploits, and the CCCX Series is pleased to expand their racing categories. There will also be a free 1 lap kids race at 12:00 noon.
Manzanita Park in Prunedale is a great venue for Cyclocross and has a long history of two wheeled racing action. This will be the 16th cyclocross race to be contested at Manzanita Park dating back to 1997. This venue also hosted the Northern California District Championships in 2000. The park features challenging trails, elevation gains and descents, sand, grass, and pavement to test everyone's Cyclocross skills. Here is a list of riders who dominated that District Championship race in 2000,
Many of these riders are still riding strong and flying like fighter pilots on a bicycle, while others went on to attain professional status, and win National Championships or other high profile races.
At every CCCX event medals will be awarded to top finishers in all divisions.
Elite Men and Elite Women will be racing for an instant cash payout.
Master 35+ A Men, and Master 45 + A Men will also receive an instant cash payout depending on field size.
When possible CCCX Series sponsor Cal Giant Inc. will provide tasty strawberries to top finishers.
All racers who finish will receive series ranking points.
The CCCX Series would like to thank its fine list of sponsors. These fine sponsors are tremendous advocates of cycling, and cycling competitions, and they work hard to keep the dream alive for aspiring racers. New for the 2007 series, The Bicycle Trip in Santa Cruz will be added to the sponsor list for CCCX. The Bicycle Trip has an outstanding Junior cycling program and stays very active in local cycling activities and advocacy. They join Family Cycling Center, which is also from Santa Cruz, and has been a long time CCCX sponsor, in making a strong statement for the dedication the Santa Cruz area has toward supporting Cyclocross racing. Much thanks goes out to these great sponsors and all the CCCX sponsors: Scotts Valley Cycle Sport, Castro Valley Cycles, Trail Head Cyclery, Joselyn's Bicycles, Pegasus Bicycle Works, Calabazas Cycles, Ritchey, X- Fusion, WTB, Monster Energy, Cal Giant Inc., Fox Racing Inc., Amino Vital, Hott Shoppe Designs.
We hope to see you at the races!
