Saison Cinq for Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross Series

"Saison Cinq for Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross Series"

Our prep work for the 2007 season is in its final stages and we're
looking forward to another great selection of events for northern
California cyclocross players. 4 of our favorite courses are
returning in this year's presentation - Candlestick Point (our 7th
race there since 2004), McLaren Park in San Francisco - last year's
newcomer to the rotation and a spectacular venue, Golden Gate Park
which will also be the site for the final event of the brand
new "NCNCA Cup, presented by Sycip Cycles", and Coyote Point in San
Mateo, returning to the lineup for the 10th time since 2002.

Brand new for 2007 and still partially under wraps while we complete
permit requirements is Sierra Point in Brisbane. Many of you remember
2003 where we kicked off the 1st Bay Area Super Prestige Series on
landfill adjacent to San Francisco Bay and the local yacht harbor.
This new course is nearby and will feature some marvellous swoopty-
doo sections as well as a tight 6 minute circuit. Our history at
Hellyer Park was short-lived - we knew from conversations with the
Park Rangers that a bike trail extension was to be installed in 2007
just behind the track and we had plans to incorporate that with this
year's event. However, a permanent wire fence accompanied the bike
path with no gateways to the upper section of Hellyer - and that
means no 'cross course for us any longer.

We are pleased to announce a new partner joining the Bay Area Super
Prestige Cyclocross Series - Voler will be helping us provide
something very new to our podium presentations - Series Leader's
Jerseys. All of our cateogry sponsors  - and they've supported the
events since inception in 2003 - will be prominently displayed during
our "Saison Cinq" award ceremonies.

We have a slightly revised schedule for competitors this year - and 1
new category. We will officially recognize our U14 athletes this
season and they will be racing with their older Junior (U18) buds and
Category "C" Women will complete that heat. More details can be found
on the Pilarcitos website. Racing age for athletes wil be their
calendar age in 2008 - if you're going to be 10 years old in 2008 you
are eligible for the U14 fields.

At our first event of the season, starting positions will be
determined by 2006 Series final standings for all of our Category "A"
fields. After the first race we will use those results for subsequent
call-ups for every field, including "B" and "C" Categories. 2006 saw
721 dfferent competitors participate during the series. We plan on
continuing the day-of-event registration process we're pursued since
2002 but realize some categories (2006 "C" Men had 139 different
competitors and a field size of 80+ at GG Park) may see field limits
established in the future which would require on-line pre-
registration.

See you on October 7th - Sierra Point
