>From John Wilson:
Well it is August 1st and everyone knows what that means. Cyclocross
Season is upon us.
I wanted to make some exciting JCS announcements:
1. We have added 9 year old���s to JCS Cyclocross racing. Yes that
is right. If your child is 9 years old on December 31st 2016 they can
race JCS Cyclocross this year! Whoo Hoo!
2. We have added Elite Junior categories for both Women and Men!
3. The Elite racers will be determined by upgrade points and
race outside the mid-day time slot (more details to follow).
4. We are very excited about these two changes. From the
beginning the JCS mission was about creating opportunities for
Juniors. Bringing in 9 year old���s and creating a place for our up and
coming Junior talent fits perfectly with that mission. Moving the
faster Juniors out of the Mid-Day time slot makes room for 9-year
old���s. This will be great!
5. We will continue with the team competition this year (more
details coming how to form your team).
6. We will have the best 4 races out of 6 again this year (for
both individual and team competition).
7. Castelli will be providing leaders Jersey���s again this year.
We will have a leader jersey for each individual age/gender category
starting at Ninkrossi.
8. Erik Tonkin and Sellwood Cycle repair will be providing Grand
Prize and Awards SWAG again this year.
9. This series is funded and supported by OBRA. Thank you OBRA
for your commitment to Junior Racing!
This is going to be great. Get your nine year old ready to rumble!
More updates will be coming soon.
Thanks everyone
John Wilson
