If you've seen our previous e-mail or checked the ride calendar, then you'll know that this is our annual Cyclocross Weekend!

Contrary to the last 24 hours, the weather for the rest of the weekend is looking mild and sunny.

Volunteers:
We can definitely use some extra hands this weekend:
Friday setup: We'll start setting up the course at Longbranch park at noon.  We can use people to set-up stakes, string tape and rake/leaf-blow the course.  Note that we use the step-in style stakes these days, so no heavy hammers needed.
Saturday: 9:00 am start: We need a few people help run registration/scoring information (USB sticks) between officials and registration and to re-set stakes that may be knocked-down during races.  At 3:30 we re-set a few sections of the course for Sunday.
Sunday: 9:00 am start.  Same as Saturday except at 3:30 we start taking-down the course during the kids race.
Even if you can only help for a few hours, we can definitely use the extra help.  This is a case where a few extra hands makes a huge difference in how fast the course can go up and down.  Please let me know if you have make it so we can plan accordingly.

Racing:
I would encourage anyone who has any interest in bike racing to register and give it a try.  Cyclocross is super fun, and Saturday morning we start with a CX skills clinic taught by USACycling coach Noel Bonk.

Kids Race:
Sunday afternoon is our very popular CX Kids Race for boys and girls 12 and under, where they make a few laps around a shortened version of the course...come out and cheer them on!  The race starts at 3:50 pm.  

Spectators:
If you're not volunteering or racing, I would still encourage your to come out for the fun.  Cheer (or jeer) the racers while they make their way around the course.  First race starts at 9:45 am and we wrap-up at 2:45 pm.    


Full event information is available on the OCC Web site.
