BC3 in the books!

Thanks everyone for a great event yesterday. The weather was perfect, the racing was great, and the food was even good. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves on a very difficult course. Each season we need one course that wakes us up, and I think this was that race. The hills and technical sections played a major part in the results, but with many riders throwing down sub 5:00 minute laps, it couldn't have been that hard!

Race points should be up very soon, and series points are circulating and will be posted soon as well.

Next race is December 5, at a new venue called Barry Platte Park (169 and Barry Rd) on old Stagecoach Rd. Super easy to get to, and less than 10 minutes from downtown. It will offer some really cool features and test us all!

I recovered a couple items at the race:

1 Bike Shack wind vest small (actually from the 10/4 race)

1 set of Bontrager Race Lite wheels (if you know what color they are and what tires are on them they are yours).

Shoot me an email at joe@cyclecitykc.com if either these are yours, or if you have any questions, comments or concerns about the races or anything else we do for that matter.

Results, Results, Results

I know everyone likes to see their name on the internets, and lots of guys have been emailin' requestin' these... So, lemme say to anyone interested, if I don't respond to your email in a timely fashion, there are two reasons: 1 - I'm lazy and a bad communicator, and for this I'm sorry, you deserve better, it's not you, it's me, and 2 - I'm sitting at a hotel bar in Jefferson City and don't have access to my home email account....

So, here are pdf's of the English Landing Cyclocross Classic Boss Cross presented by Cycle City Round's #1 and #2 Results. For you jerks who want excel format, I can't do that, believe it or not. You see the scoring software is some sort of access database that is beyond my comprehension. So, what you see is what you get.

Bc09 03 Flyer

WOW!

Well, I'm shelled. I'm sure all you hardcores who raced both days are worse off than me... And you guys who raced one of the days are probably knackered too! I have to say, this was a bitchin weekend, ladies and gentlemen. You all really made the events badass... I must thank each and everyone for coming out, and I definitely have to shout out to Ted and Wes, as well as all the other volunteers, for helping out with what is a thankless job - wrangling incoming park users and course control. I know that there were some issues with people walking on the course during races. I also know that we need to work on it... however, despite this, I think the weekend was a sucess. We'll be posting results, series points, and all that crap in the next week or so, be patient.

This is going to be a staple on the calendar, gents... See you on Halloween!

English Landing Cyclocross Classic Course Map

Dudes,

Here's a map of the course for the English Landing Cyclocross Classic. We intend to run the course in reverse for day #2. I don't know which will be worse.... Although, as you all know, we may change it up a bit before Saturday.

Also, please note the parking assignments. There's a classic car show going on in farmer's market on Saturday afternoon. This means that we need to park away from the venue in the western and northernmost areas so we can respect these other park users...

On another note, get your prereg done. Let's move into the 21st century. See y'all Saturday morning.
