CYCLO-CROSS
Registration is currently open for the 2007 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships in Kansas City, Dec. 14-16. Entrants can register online by clicking here. Registration will close on December 8 at 1:00 a.m. E.S.T. For more information on the race visit www.kccrossnationals.com.
The course for the 2007 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships has been unveiled. The nearly two-mile-long course through Wyandotte County Park in Kansas City, Kan., was announced this week. The signature element is a pair of back-to-back stair sections, each 40 feet in length, which come about a quarter-mile from the finish line. Another crucial element of the course design was to make it as spectator-friendly as possible with nearly the entire course viewable from several vantage points. A barrier section, positioned between a pair of heated spectator tents, will be a prime viewing spot. Special attention was given to the start area to ensure that competitors who do not have the most prime starting positions have the opportunity to move up quickly before the course narrows. For more information on the course visit www.kccrossnationals.com.
