Registraton for the 2016 Kingsport CX Cup and MSG 8 is now Open

As promised we have finally gotten registration open for the 5th Kingsport Cyclo-cross Cup and The final for the 12th season of the MSG series. Go here to register for both events.

All of the menu items have been updated as well.

Kingsport Cyclo-cross Cup 2016!

There has been a lot of poking around on the website and the Facebook page. I’m sure you guys are hungry for new info! We have been busy with our regular 8 race MSG series, and our one off Woad Warrior CX race. Never fear though, updated info will be coming soon. Most of the information concerning the UCI race schedule, prize list, ETC. will be the same as last year only the dates will change. However, info for the Sunday, January 3rd race will change as well as host hotel info. ETC. Look for updates in the next couple of weeks. Don’t be alarmed by the “pending” status at USAC.org. USAC won’t permit an event for the following year until club dues are paid and USAC insurance for the following year is ironed out. Club dues can’t be paid until November. So, to recap, the KCXC is well underway. Don’t forget Kingsport is only 90:00 from Asheville, so the KCXC will make a great warm up and last chance stop for UCI points before nationals. Check back for more updates soon!

Climbs Some Hills, Learn Some Skills!

Sha Bow! Just like that! surprise skills clinic at this Saturdays UCI race! “Want to get those skills and techniques dialed right before the trip to nationals?? Well, join the Mock Orange Bikes Pro CX Team as they lead a short, FREE, skills clinic immediately following the Men’s 4/5 race, the final race of the day at the Kingsport CX Cup on Saturday! The team will be covering specific areas of the course such as barriers, off camber sections, and maximizing your efficiency in corners! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity.”

 

Volunteers Needed!

Here is the course set-up/take down schedule. We need tons of help! Give back to the sport by helping with course set up and take down.

Wednesday 12/31/14: 10:30 AM-5:00 PM: Fence posts in the ground taping if time, begin pit set up.
Thursday 1/1/15: 10:00AM -5:00 PM: Finish taping, finish pit, set up start grid, move plastic fencing into place.
Friday 1/2/15 9:00 AM- 4:30 PM: Set up start/finish with steel fencing, put up banners. Odds and ends.
Saturday 1/3/15: We need 8 people to volunteer as crossing guards from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM. There will be a break between elite women and men of 30:00 minutes.
Sunday 1/4/15 3:30-until it’s done: Course take down. The more people that help the quicker it comes down.

Don’t assume that someone else will be out to help. We can never have two many volunteers. Lack of volunteers this season has made this one of the most difficult seasons in 12 years. If you have questions message dwayne or email roadclub@gmail.com.
