NORTH/SOUTH CHALLENGE BAKERSFIELD

NOR-CAL vs. SO-CAL CHALLENGE IS BIG SHOW FOR ALL OF CALIFORNIA CYCLOCROSS THIS WEEKEND IN BAKERSFIELD!



The city of Bakersfield has a Cyclocross classic on their hands. Northern California racers are now rallying the troops in order to support this event, and bring the full force of Nor-Cal talent to square up against Southern California during a weekend long Cross festival of good times and fast racing.


Some of my most memorable & favorite races have been traveling South and matching up with riders from the Southern region of California
who I was not familiar with. 
Nor-Cal has the deepest talent pool for Masters racing in all America.  Nor-Cal has Junior talent, Elite riders who are super skilled, and Women racers who fight tooth & nail for placing during the competitions.  This weekend Bakersfield hosts an opportunity for Nor-Cal's most dedicated Cross racers to represent their region and go to war against riders they rarely will
face over seasons of racing. 
This is a chance I highly recommend you take!
Bakersfield and the North/South Challenge will not disappoint!



Simply scroll down the So-Cal Cyclocross web site and they do a little bragging about beating Nor-Cal in points during the North/South Challenge last year!  Funny because they get all the riders from the host town of Bakersfield counted to their score, and then claim victory in the end!  Ha!
The only option for the NCNCA region of Cyclocross is to Man & Women Up!~  and get your team mates, friends, and family members together in a big push to...
RACE CYCLOCROSS THIS WEEKEND IN BAKERSFIELD!
Conditions are going to be awesome.  The course is worthy, and the on form NCNCA racers who are fresh off of competing in the Surf City Series & CCCX Series in early Jan. are sure to be prepared to brawl big time against any rider from the So-Cal region who dares to step in the ring with Northern California's top guns.  This weekend is going to be incredible for good times and fond memories.  So good luck to all from Nor-Cal who participate!  Our riders are clearly prepared to fight the good fight in honor of our region. 
Ride like the wind and have fun doing it!

Clearly not a bad forecast at all,
and it would be nice if the storm was much greater...
But it looks like Sunday could be really good for drama and spectacle!
