CCC Tuesday Updates – 20230815
August 15, 2023
- Voting is open until next Monday 8/21/2023 at 5pm for the 2023 Illinois State Cyclocross Championships. Please see instructions here on the ICA website and vote accordingly if your team is registered with USAC.
- The CCC Schedule page is updated including the map of events. One change to the daily schedule this year, shortening the Men 1/2/3 race to make room for local events, TBD by the individual race directors. Look for family friendly events, costume parades, doggo runs, adaptive cycling, etc. during this time.
- Our friends North of the infamous Cheddar curtain kick off their series on Saturday 9/9/2023 at the Flyover Silver Creek CX race in Manitowoc. Details here, here, and here.
- The unofficial start of the CX season begin at xXx Relay CX and HAC CX Eliminator… Reg is open for both on BikeReg.
- And finally… it is with sadness we learned last week that OG CCC member and organizer Erik Weisenburger passed away. Erik had moved away from Chicago a while back, but some of you may remember him as the designer, builder, and keeper of the initial height-convertible and foldable CCC race barriers. Erik also designed the first courses at Jackson Park and Montrose Harbor. He was a threat on the bike too, capturing the first CCC Champions Jersey for Cat 3 in 2004. R.I.P.
Is it possible to make the Jr race a full race (like in Wi) as opposed to just two laps?
Is it possible to make the 1/2/3 race a full race (like in Wi) as opposed to just 45 minutes?
Sorry if this comes across as harsh but I don’t feel the Beardstown course is a state championship worthy course. Friendly people but there was broken glass on the course that caused several flat tires to contenders in 2021. The promoter didn’t seem concerned.
It’s a “full” 45 minutes.
No BikeReg for many of the upcoming events?
