November 7, 2006.

With our registration at almost 150 we have achieved the numbers that we needed to safely budget prize money to the Elite Men's and Women's races this Saturday. Although GLORY should be enough motivation; money always helps a bit. Not only a bit of prize money but EQUAL prize money for the top three Elite Men and Women. The distribution will go as follows: $300, $200, $100. We wished we had more, but hopefully this will help a bit.

Also due to the generous support from Crankbrothers and Norco we are giving out Crankbrothers pedals to all the winners in the championships categories. Glory and pedals! We thank Crankbrothers and Norco for supporting us to offer these prizes.

Also through Devinci we are offering all participants and volunteers the chance to win a 2007 Tosca SL T.2 Frame as a draw prize.

Last chance to register for the National Cyclocross Championships is this Thursday by 7:00 pm Pacific time. There is NO Friday or Saturday registration for this event.

Fletcher's Farm Cross on the Rock Race #4 on Sunday the 12th will have the same great prizes for top performances in all categories that we have had for the other three races. You can register for this event on-line up until Thursday or at the event on Sunday.
