CCCX Series Adds Race

1082C7DA-1989-4391-98D4-5DD6BBE8445D.jpg

It looks like they will be an additional race for the CCCX XC series this season, bumping the finals from this weekend to early September:

Due to multiple issues, the final race of the series is now scheduled for Sunday, September 2nd. This race will also serve as the USA Cycling Northern California Cross Country Championship race for 2012. This event will have a level "D" status on the USA Cycling ranking system. All divisions will be racing for the USA Cycling Nor-Cal State Championship that day, plus the double points CCCX Series final.

Plus the CCCX Series awards will be handed out on September 2nd, making for a huge day of XC racing
to close out the CCCX 2012 Cross Country season.


The USA Cycling State Championship Race/CCCX Series Final will either take place at FT. Ord or Toro Park.

While the finals have been pushed back, this weekend's race is STILL ON:

This Saturday's July 28, Race #8 course is going to be an excellent route featuring a plethora of climbs, multiple super fast downhill's, as much single-track as I can sneak in. Also enough elevation gained per lap to fully challenge even the strongest riders in the group. This particular route is one of the best, as it mixes in most of the regular steep climbs, but also includes the most fun descents as well!

Happy racing.
