Just a friendly reminder that Online Registration will end on Saturday December 6, 2008 at 12:00 am CDT for the USA Cycling Collegiate Cyclocross National Championship. 

 

Why race CX Natz, you ask?  Do I really need to tell you?

-Because cyclocross is awesome and KC has a great event lined up for you!

-The D1 and D2 races are now completely separate for the males and have start waves for the women, so you won’t be battling huge fields like last year! Take a look at the schedule.

-There are NO conference qualifications (excluding ECCC) for anyone to attend.

-You can hold any Collegiate CX category A-D.  You are NOT required to be licensed as an A cyclocross rider. 

-For complete eligibility requirements, see the general eligibility requirements on pages 31-33 of the Collegiate rulebook, and the CX specifics are on page 48, and the call up procedures on page 34 in rule 11.3.2.

-It’s a great chance to score some national team points for your team that culminate to your overall National Rankings!

-Registering late does not matter for Call-ups!  It is based on your teams National Rankings and randomly for other non-ranked teams.  Each team is guaranteed to have a minimum of one rider in each start grid.  So if you’re a lone ranger for your team, you will be in the 1^st grid called.

-It will be a chance to recruit for your team!  I am hosting a Collegiate/Jr Recruiting Fair to connect some of the best Jrs in the nation to some of the best Collegiate Cycling programs in the nation.  It is tentatively scheduled for Saturday December 13^th in the Embassy Suites (host hotel).  Keep your eyes and ears open at Packet Pick-up for final details.

-It will be a blast to battle it out for the individual stars and bars and the chance to get your team on the podium as well.

-We are setting up a Collegiate Conference Devo Session as well to also be held on Saturday!  If you want more CX races in your conference, you should plan on attending.  The session is tentatively scheduled for Saturday as well, so keep an eye posted at Packet Pick-up for final details.

Don’t forget to bring your Nationals Eligibility Form with you, signed and sealed by your school registrar.

 

Cheers, dress warm, and hope to see you in KC!
