Velo Bella Kick-Off and Clinic, Districts Announced, 'Stick Clinic

This weekend kicks off the Velo Bella Surf City Cyclocross Series Race #1 at Soquel High School, promising a great course and great fun to be had by all. Velo Bella will also be putting on a star-studded clinic on Saturday with many of Nor-Cal's heavy-hitters on-hand to give their expert advice to anyone who wishes to learn and/or improve their CX skills. Online registration ends tonight (Thurs 8PM PST), by the way.

This just in...the 2006 NCNCA District Cyclocross Championships have been officially announced. The Pilarcitos crew will be putting on the event in conjunction with the final race of the Bay Area Super Prestige Series (a.k.a. CCCP) on December 3rd at Coyote Point. The Nor-Cal promoters can now breathe a sigh of relief that they will no longer be pestered about a date for Districts.

One last note: Sycip Racing will be putting on a clinic next Saturday, Oct. 21st on the Pilarcitos BASP Candlestick course (race is Sunday 10/22). I will be leading the clinic aided by my able and cross-crazy teammates. Newbies to advanced crossers welcome. Pre-ride the course for Sunday. Click here for more details.
