2024 Campton CX Preview
October 31, 2024
- Guaranteed Rate Cycling are back at it again at Campton CX for the series’ second hilliest race. Third if you count both days of Groundhog this year.
- Anderson Park in Campton Township (5N180 Brown Rd, Campton Hills, IL 60175). Need directions? From I-90: Randall Road South, to Rt. 64 West, past LaFox Road, turn right onto Brown Road and park is on your left. There are other Anderson Parks in the Chicagoland area, so please go to the correct one. The map on BikeReg is correct.
- Pre-reg closes Friday night on BikeReg .
- Preliminary staging will be posted here on Saturday. Make sure you double check your preliminary staging on Saturday, not Sunday.
- Dave’s SLO Food will again be serving up some fantastic BBQ.
- Sorry, NO alcoholic beverages are allowed in the park.
- Campton is our Halloween race. Wear a costume, or not… keep it fun, keep it safe! There will hopefully be a costume contest. We are always waiting on the edge of our saddles to see what you all come up with each year.
- Please do NOT warm up on/around the soccer fields to the East of registration. The village has asked us to keep off the areas visible when you pull into the park. If you carefully ride North on Brown Rd for about 200 meters you can hop onto the Great Western trail, which is a great place to warm up. Thank you.
- Temps will be dropping between now and Sunday and the forecast is for a chance of rain all day. Please plan and prep your clothing, nutrition, and pressure washer accordingly.
- There is plenty of parking on site. Please do not ride or drive on the grass surrounding the course.
- Remember if you have already done so or plan on upgrading your USAC category… and you want half of your series points to follow you to the next category for overall placings and staging purposes… you need to do so AND EMAIL US THE DETAILS before this weekend’s race… meaning no later than Saturday at noon. Details are pretty straightforward over on the Rules and FAQ page.
Will there be a hose/tap on site to fill containers for pressure washing?
We’re working on it but assume we will not have a hose available.
Thanks Eric
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND WE HAVE LISTENED
Head on over to https://www.chicagocx.com to check out a newly enhanced, multimedia-enriched experience and the first edition of THE WEEKLY SANDBAGGER – your guide to the DIRTY DETAILS and everything else you need to know before heading to Campton Hills.
Hoping the spotlight from chicagocx.com helps educate these guys on the rules. Taking podium spots after not taking the mandatory upgrade is a clown move. See ya at Campton!
Lol holy cow is that awesome haha
Really enjoyed the course although that downhill gravel finishing straight was more than sketchy. Maybe next year just use the grass off to the side.
Great race all; thanks for another fun installment!
