• We’re back at Jackson Park in the Chicago Park District. REPEAT: The race is at Jackson Park on Sunday. As you should all know by now there is not a ton of space in this location so get cozy.
• Pre-registration is open on BikeReg until tomorrow (Friday) night at midnight.
• Staging: Remember for the 2nd race and the rest of the series the front row of each category will be staged by series points, while everyone else is staged by CrossResults.com points. See full staging protocols over on the Rules/FAQ page.
• Preliminary staging will be posted here on Saturday. Here’s your annual reminder that sometimes the link between BikeReg and CrossResults is not correct, especially if you forget your USAC license number, so please, please check your staging on Saturday and not Sunday on the start line. We will NOT be able to adjust incorrect CrossResults points on Sunday.
• Directions: Set your GPS to 1987 E Hayes Drive in Chicago.
• Parking: DO NOT PARK in the boat launch lot adjacent to the course. Ample parking is available in the PAID lot on the north side of Hayes Drive. You can drop off equipment, tents, etc. in the boat launch parking lot but then you MUST move your vehicle. Thanks!
• The Chicago Marathon was last week, so no need to worry about it unless you’re Marty McFly.
• Food: Unfortunately there will NOT be a food truck.
• If you’ve been riding outside at all the last 2 weeks you know Autumn weather is already here. Sunday morning temps will be in the 40’s so please dress and pack extra clothes accordingly.
• Bib numbers are always on your left side for all CCC races.
• The course: While xXx Racing are using the same patch of land as Relay CX, the course will be different… running counter-clockwise (i.e. backwards from the direction Relay CX was run), with a layout similar to last year’s series race.
• See you Sunday!
