Each of the riders you see in the photos above will be in action Thursday in Bend, Oregon.

Many other Nor-Cal racers will be racing, all with a shot at the podium, and the coveted Stars & Stripes Champions jersey.

Please see this schedule for Thursday's racing and most of the other Nor-Cal riders who will be on course in Bend.

My words of wisdom regarding Thursday's racing at the Cross Nationals in Bend......

Someone from Nor-Cal is going to ride great & claim the precious Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal!

Ride Safe & Have Fun!
