USA Cycling announces provisional 2002 cross calendar

USA Cycling has announced a schedule of 18 races that have been submitted to



the UCI for consideration in the 2002 international calendar.



The list sees twice as many US races at this level as last season, and

includes eight events west of the Mississippi as well as the traditional

races in cyclo-cross's East Coast strongholds.



"The growth of the schedule is testament to the cooperation of promoters

across the country. I feel great about the upcoming calendar, and 'cross

promoters really deserve the credit. They essentially had the calendar put

together and all I had to do was submit it to the UCI," said USA Cycling

National Events Director Eric Moore.



The season will culminate with the National Cyclo-cross Championships,

December 13-14 in Napa, Calif. All the action will take place at the famed

Domain Chandon Winery, host to several mountain bike World Cups.
