Reigning USA Cycling Cyclocross National Champions in their respective

 Masters divisions John & Linda Elgart(Webcor/Alto Velo)- both pictured below- will not be in attendance at Toro Park due to prior commitments, which makes the 65+ Men's & 55+ Women's fields wide open for the NCNCA State title for Cyclocross. 

Masters racing at the Nor-Cal/Nevada State Championships are always off the hook.  Defending champion in the 35+ Men's field is Don Myrah(Ibis-Buy-cell.com)

 Gannon Myall(California Berry Farms/Specialized) has been on a mission during the 2011 Cross season, and is a favored rider to claim high honors in the Men's 45+ division.
