At long last....something for all you bog-trotting 'crossers to chew on

while you are awaiting your printed River City Bicycles Cyclo-cross Crusade

race series flyer (which are an absolute work of art this year).

The race calendar and schedule are at the end of this message, but first, I

wanted to announce a few new items intended to heighten your Cyclo-crossing

pleasure.

Due to the huge numbers of racers last year, we have added a Category C Race

to our race schedule. We feel this should alleviate some of the problems

(errrr, I mean challenges) associated with the huge Cat. B and Beginners

field's that we experienced last year.

Due to popular demand, we have also added a couple of new categories:

Single Speed and Masters 55+

Also, the women will have the whole race course to themselves for their

races this year. Cat. A, Cat. B and Masters 35+ women will all race

together but scored separately.

Additionally, we have created "The Joust" as a friendly competition for you

to have amongst your friends. The Joust is open to all categories and

ability levels. The joust is the most revered way to establish dominance

and superiority over a worthy opponent. Basically, you are able to

challenge another racer (in your same category) to a season-long joust to

try and establish 'cross racing superiority over your chosen adversary.

Scoring will be handled by the combatants as a matter of honor. The winner

of the joust will be awarded a medal at the end of the crusades and enjoy

bragging rights. More information will be on our printed flyer (forthcoming)

and website (under construction).

From a friendly rivalry between the Seattle Series and the Warriors of the

Cross Crusade was born the "Grail Della Grunge Cup" competition. Basically,

it will pit the top men and women from each series against each other in a

points competition between our two Cities. Four pre-chosen races (2 in

Portland and 2 in Seattle) will be used to score this competition. The

Prize? Bragging rights and a lovely grail fashioned from broken 'cross

bikes and emptied kegs. More information can be found on the printed flyer

(forthcoming) and our website (which is currently under construction).
