Press Release: K2 and Widmer Brothers to Sponsor Star-Crossed Cyclocross

Date: August 30, 2002

K2 and Widmer Brothers Brewing have agreed to co-title sponsor

Star-Crossed Cyclocross at the Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA on September

28th. Star-Crossed will be a new and unique event on the United States

bicycle racing calendar for 2002, the nations first twilight cyclocross

race (see race description below). The event will kick of the 2002

cyclocross season in style under the lights at the Marymoor Velodrome on a

fast and spectator friendly course surrounded by a festive atmosphere. Race

festivities will feature the Widmer Brothers Beer Garden, free raffles for

spectators and a DJ pumping out tunes while the crowd sees the entire race

unfold in front of them on the challenging floodlight lit course. K2 will be

offering a top-of-the-line Enemy cyclocross frame during the raffle. Races

for beginning and intermediate riders start the day at 4:30 PM with the

headlining Senior Mens race at 7:30 PM. The Senior Mens race will feature

Northwest cyclocross superstars Dale Knapp of Kona/Voicestream and Jonny

Sundt of K2 Bikes.

What is Cyclocross?

Cyclocross is roughly the equivalent of Steeplechase running for

bicyclists. The sport, which originated in Europe more than 75 years ago,

was intended as off season (Oct.-Jan.) training for road riders. Riders

practiced on forest trails, parks, and soccer fields, etc. This often meant

crossing streams, climbing over fallen trees and carrying their bikes

through sections that cannot be ridden. Today it is a full blown cycling

discipline with a devoted following of racers and spectators.

The typical 'cross course consists of a 1 to 2 mile loop of varied

terrain, including dirt, pavement, steep run ups and off camber turns.

Natural and artificial barriers are often used to force the riders to

dismount and remount their bicycles at speed. The races are timed events

which last between 30 and 60 minutes each, depending on the riders' age

and/or ability level.
