Cyclo-cross nationals begin Dec. 9
Colorado Springs, Colo. (Nov. 18, 2005) – Just a reminder - the USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships take place Dec. 9-11 at Roger Williams Park in Providence, R.I.
There will be an entire week's worth of cycling and cultural events in the Ocean State leading up to the nationals. Promoters expect to host nearly 1,400 competitors to this three-day event. National champion jerseys will be awarded in 25 categories. Each day’s final race will be a featured event, with collegiate men racing Friday, pro-elite men on Saturday, and pro-elite women on Sunday. Sunday will also feature the Liberty Cup, a non-championship invitational event for men.
Cyclo-cross is a hybrid of road and off-road cycling. Cyclists compete on a tightly woven course for a timed period, ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. Designed with hurdles and steep slopes, courses force racers to dismount their bikes and run for short sections on the course. These compact courses create fan friendly race venues, with spectators able to watch nearly all of the racing action. Racers compete regardless of weather conditions.
