SUNDAY 28 November 2010 - $1900 is GUARANTEED PRIZE MONEY
Welcome to the 8th Annual John Bryan Cyclocross Classic. Once again this year we are part of both the Ohio Valley Cyclocross Series (OVCX) and the CapCity Series out of C-BUS! It should be a great first mixing of the two premier cyclocross series in the great state of Ohio.
We are also excited to announce that our partnership with Buckingham Financial Group has been EXTENDED for this year's race, which has allowed us to expand and increase the quality of the event for this year. With the support of Buckingham Financial we were able to underwrite some races to offer discounted entrance fees--mainly the C and Masters fields. Once again all Juniors race for FREE...courtsey of Buckingham Financial. This was done with the intent to get more people into the sport of cyclocross...so come on out and bring a friend! Especially if it's your first time!
We are also pleased to announce that of our very own, INFAMOUS, John Gatch from 2 John's Podcast will be back to announce the races, set the atmosphere, and drum up the excitement.
COURSE: An 8 minute (A Men standard) course over the front face of the park. This year we will have wide open and fast sweeping turns, with a mix of gravel roads (100 meters), lots of grass, and a short section of singletrack. The start will be a slightly uphill road section, and the finish line will be moved close to the day lodge to ALSO finish on the road. And of course...the YURT OF HURT will be back this year!
RACING LICENSES: USCF or NORBA licenses are required for all categories. Day of race licenses will be available for purchase.
REGISTRATION: Registration opens at 9am! There is a $10 late fee as per OVCX rules...so register early at BikeReg.com
STAGING: We will be staging EVERY race in the series. It will work like this...Last year's State Champion will be called ot the line, followed by the first 3 riders in both the OVCX and the CapCity series, a promoter's discretion call-up, and then IN ORDER OF REGISTRATION down to the last rider! Just in case anyone needed any more motivation to sign up early at BikeReg.
