2019 NCNCA CROSS SCHEDULE

Yo!  Cyclocross racing people... Much greatness ahead with the CROSS racing in the NCNCA for 2019. 

Here are the dates I have come up with as of now. 

Waiting for the Sagebrush dates and confirmation with the West Sac GP, and if there will be any dates in Fresno with the Homegrown Series.  Lots of fun and fast action packed racing in store for all the Cross crazed riders.

Here are the races/events I have now for 2019...

The NCNCA Webmaster will be adding them to the NCNCA racing calendar this week.

Surely there will be some changes to this schedule, with some dates switches or additions and subtractions.

Ride safe & have fun!

2019-20 CYCLOCROSS CALENDAR COMING SOON....

Hey Everyone!

Working on the Nor-Cal Cyclocross Calendar now for the upcoming 2019-20 racing season.

Going to be some awesome events and great racing exploits I am sure!

The schedule will be complete ASAP.

2018-19 NOR-CAL CYCLOCROSS CALENDAR POSTED

The 2018-19 Nor-Cal and NCNCA Cyclocross Calendar is now posted here- 

NCNCA CX CALENDAR BLOG

and here- NCNCA CYCLOCROSS CALENDAR.

The 2018 schedule of races looks 100% awesome!

The CCCX Series starts the action for Nor-Cal Cyclocross racing with events in September, starting Sept. 1. CCCX Cyclocross sets the stage for the athletes all preparing their game for the races later in the season, including District Championships & National Championships. 

CCCX Series Info Here.

Also, in September on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, is the star studded Clif Bar Reno Cross race held in Reno, NV.  

This race is a super big deal for our region for the sport of Cyclocross.  Racing in Reno on Sept. 19.

Reno Cross Info Here.

Expect an awesome show of Cross action with some of the best racers in the world taking to the start line in Reno.

This event is part of Interbike and information on this bike show can be found here- INTERBIKE 2018.

October rages hard for Cross racing right away with the 

Nor-Cal UCI special event of 

The West Sacramento Cyclocross Grand Prix on Oct. 6 & 7.

West Sac. GP Info Here.

This event is world class fun and is a extra special weekend of Cross racing in Nor-Cal.  Be ready to rock and roll full speed in Sacramento.  Thank you to Matthew Hargrove and his crew for their hard work with this Rad weekend of racing.

The Sacramento Cyclocross Series and the SuperPro races then make up the Cyclocross racing for the rest of October.

Both of these groups keep the Cross racing fun for Nor-Cal racers and the competitions are always hardcore hard.

Clint Classen always does an outstanding job with the Sacramento Cyclocross Series. And Murphy Mack keeps the fire burning bright for Bay Area Cyclocross fun and frolic. 

Sacramento Series Info Here.

SuperPro Race Info Here.

November has some surprises in store for Nor-Cal Cyclocross racing.  The month starts off with BASP at Coyote Point.

Coyote Point has a long history of excellent Cyclocross drama.

Then there is the 3 day Santa Rosa Cup.  Three days of Cross racing in Santa Rosa always makes for real deal challenges.

The time of year really starts to feel like classic Europe style Cross racing.  Often the temperatures are low and the ground conditions are moist, all making for pure Cyclocross goodness.

Santa Rosa Cup Info Here.

The NCNCA District Cyclcoross Championships will be November 25 at the Sonoma based CX Nation Cup.

For a long time I have wanted the NCNCA Districts to take place in the Santa Rosa/Sonoma area region of the NCNCA District.  I have worked to accomplish this for 2018 with Brian Staby of the CX Nation Cup, which is a fundraiser race for Bay Area Junior Athletes to compete further in Cyclocross.  The CX Nation Cup will certainly be a fine NCNCA District Championship event and best of class will be awarded the USA Cycling State Champion Gold Medals on the day!

CX Nation Cup Info Here.

December has the USA Cycling National Championships on December 11-16.

But before the National Championships is the instant Classic Cyclocross race - The Coyote Valley Cross in Morgan Hill.

This will be 2 days of racing on Dec. 8 & 9.

This event served as the NCNCA District Championships last season.  Patrick Miller and Team Fast Forward will certainly produce another amazing weekend of Cyclocross racing 

on a course that has great character and 

outstanding challenges for all.

The NCNCA is super lucky to have great races and great clubs and teams making our region #1 for top level competitions.

Coyote Valley Cross Info Here.

December Cross racing also has the ending of the 

Sacramento Series.

Then to close out the Cross racing in Nor-Cal there is the 

CCCX races in January on Jan. 13 & Jan. 20.  

Best of times to end the Cyclcross events for the NCNCA 

competing in classic peak season race conditions.

Also there will most likely be additions and subtractions to the racing calendar as time goes on. 

Such as the Fresno Homegrown Race Series and the Reno Wheelman's Sagebrush Cyclcoross Series.

So please be sure and check all outlets for information for any and all schedule changes.

Ride Safe & Have Fun!

FIRST EDITION OF THE 2017-18 RACING CALENDAR IS UP

Here is the first edition of the 2017-18 NCNCA Calendar for Cross racing.  

There will be key Cyclocross races in Sept. & Oct. in the NCNCA so the first race of the season for Cross action will be the last Sunday in August at CCCX.

CCCX has races in Sept & Oct. to get the racing kicked off for Nor-Cal Cross!
Surf City is always rad and has a very cool 3 race series lined up- Will be great!
Sacramento Series is fantastic & has a large number of races to choose from- Awesome!

The NCNCA District Championships will take place this season at the 

Lion Oaks Ranch Cyclocross/CCCX held in Morgan Hill on January 6.  

The USA Cycling National Championships will be the following weekend in Reno.

2017 looks to be another incredible season of 

racing Cross in Nor-Cal and beyond!

2105 Race Calendar Up - First Race Goes Off Saturday Sept. 29 Lobster Cup Bonny Doon

Please check out the Nor-Cal Cross Calendar Here.

Clearly the 2015 Cross race season is going to be the best ever!

Let us all just hope for some heavy Rain.

This weekend, Saturday, the racing hits out on the first lap for 2015 Nor-Cal Cross at the

Lobster Cup in Bonny Doon.  

This is sure to be a fun time out as racers just get rolling in the 

right direction to start the season.  Can you say leg and lung shock?

INFO HERE

You had better be practicing and getting all your gear and Cross equipment dialed in.  

Nor-Cal Cross is super serious and if your not out training and practicing your 

Cyclocross moves you will get left behind once you join a race.  

My advice to all... practice, practice, practice.

 Next weekend. Sept.6, is the first CCCX Cyclocross Series 

race near Monterey- always a great test.

Then the following weekend, on Saturday Sept. 12, is the extra rad West Sac. GP.  

This race is gonna be hot and fast!  Plus it is gonna be huge!  Congratulations to Matthew Hargrove and your team for making this event rock so hard for all.

So much greatness to get the Cross season in Nor-Cal really rolling strong.

Then on Sunday Sept 13. it will be a much cooler (literally temperature wise) CCCX Cyclocross Series Race #2 near Monterey.  Coastal fog and cool conditions could be the theme for this one on Sunday Sept 13 following up the hot and rad West Sac. GP on Saturday Sept. 12.

RACE CYCLOCROSS!

2014 SEASON IN REVIEW

Here are some of my favorite photos from this past 
2014 NCNCA Cyclocross racing season.

The past 4 months of racing was the very best action of Cross exploits and battles ever for Nor-Cal.  As each year the performance bar gets raised higher and higher with fitness, skill and determination from our regions best riders.  2014 did not disappoint!  
Here is to the incredible racing that was!  
Ride on...
