As all of you know, Cult Cross is a one man show with the help of some GREAT volunteers on race day. Going independent this season meant I had to call the races AND score the races. Here are the top five from each race. If you are dying to know where you finished let me know and I'll get you your result, if you were lapped just consiuder yourself "one lap down".

IT'S GETTING BIGGER...

Thank You to EVERYONE, especially the volunteers.

A GREAT DAY OF RECKONING IS UPON US ALL

CULT CROSS 2010 IS HERE!

THE LAST POST BEFORE RACING BEGINS.

I just returned from the venue, the course is complete, and there are pre-riders out there checking it out. I was able to ride a couple of laps today, the course is tacky-dry and in PERFECT racing shape. There is a hose on the back side of the Arena Building should you need to wash your bikes out there today and tomorrow. We got a nice write up in CX Magazine online as well. Thanks Andrew Yee. See you all out there tomorrow, it's gonna be a blast.

OH YEAH BABY....

IT'S ALL RAIN AND NO SNOW IN EAGLE TODAY

It would be wise to remain off the course until this rain passes later today. Final course prep will take place late today and tomorrow. Pretty much down to taping and setting barriers. This rain is gonna make things very Crossy out there! It's setting up perfectly.

THIS RACE IS GOING SATURDAY...

The good old days of Eagle Cyclocross, will they return Saturday?

The beauty of CX is the course combined with killer conditions. Saturday is now shaping up perfectly for race day, and unlike the Koppenburg which will probably be cancelled AGAIN this weekend, Cult Cross WILL NOT BE CANCELLED, if anything, it is setting up to be as good as it gets for CX racing conditions with plenty of moisture tonight and Thursday and sunny and fifteis on Saturday. And thanks to the Eagle County Fairgrounds, we've got an amzing course where we do not have to worry about ruining grass or pissing off the stuffy nieghborhood folk. This is CX, real CX, and you will suffer in the spring as you do in the fall. I'll have a wash station set up just like last year and you may believe you are in Hoogerheide by days end.

2010 COURSE IS 95% FLAGGED

The course has been 95% flagged, it's a little difficult to "connect" some of the sections right now, but there are a enough riders who know the course to hopefully start beating a bead into the course. There WILL be some minor changes to the current layout once I start staking and taping on Thursday, but for the most part it's laid out without the barriers or the start section. The course next to the parking lot has not been marked as of yet, I'll work on that tomorrow. Go ride it, it's a goodin.

THE CULT CROSS 2010 SCHEDULE

NO ACA OR USA LICENSE REQUIRED

Kids and Juniors race free, all other categories pay $20 entry fee and $10 for an additional race. All racers MUST sign a event waiver and registration is day of only.

2010 COURSE ROUGH CUT, WHY TRY AND RACE THE KOPPENGURG?

Run it clockwise....

Don't fight it, join it. Once again the Koppenburg has failed to deliver despite the promise of running the race NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS. Well, guess what, on April 3rd, Cult Cross 2010 is going to off NO MATTER WHAT the conditions, so throw your CX bike in the car and come up to Eagle for a world class CX experience at one of the greatest CX venues period. The prize list is impressive, and NO LICENSE is required, entry fee is ONLY $20. See you there, lets get dirty on our lets get dirty bikes!

2010 IS ROLLIN UP QUICKLY AND COMING TOGETHER PERFECT.

New Course, New Shirts, New Fun

Yeti's Grind, a sponsor, already Cult Crossed up

CULT CROSS SHWAG, T-SHIRTS, HOODIES....CHECK

Shirts and Hoodies came out sweeeeet...

A CATEGORY FOR EVERY PARTICIPANT

Here's the breakdown of the categories for the 2010 CultCross race. Juniors/Kids will be all ages of riders under 16 years of age, both guys and gals. These racers will also be allowed to race in any other category race they would like to participate in.

"C" Category is primarily for entry level racers, first timers and people who are looking to get some experience racing CX who may have dabbled in other disciplines such as Mountain Biking or road racing who are looking to have fun as well as race.

"B" Category is for the next level racer, consider it a "sport" level or a spot for those of you who did not wish to get flogged by the top level riders that will be there.

"A" Category is for the elite racers and those that would like to see where they stand against the fastest riders that show up. THIS IS NOT AN ACA SANCTIONED RACE, so emphasis on FUN is number one with racing hard the next priority. MANY of the people who have raced every year made Cult Cross their first CX experience and they come back because it is a FUN event that welcomes everyone equally, which means YOU.

Of course SingleSpeed is for people who enjoy suffering in the Spring even more. You can race in as many races as you like. See you on April 3rd.

T-shirts will be available for $15 and I've got a half dozen hoodies that will be $35, unless there is feedback to make more, then I will do that.

T-SHIRTS HAVE GONE TO PRINT

Ok kids, here is the rough cut of the new logo, very similar to the old as I think the logo should remain "traditional" over the years. I did however slightly change the font and added the "2010" to the skull, which will actually be white on the final T-shirt. In addition, this top logo, which is the back of the shirt, will have all black background with white lettering like the original T. I've also got VERY limited numbers of hoodies which will be $35. The T's ended up costing me a but more than I originally hoped because I'm having them made locally and this required set up fees. They will be available race day or even sooner. Hope you dig em, I sold out of the first run two years ago FAST.

COURSE VENUE IS STELLAR...

Even the most loyal of Cult Cross fans will dig the course changes I'm making this year. I walked the venue today, erased my visions of the past, and came up with a new picture, which is going to be big fun and suffering once again like only a classic cult Cross course can bring, not to mention new T-shirts which are currently in the works. T-shirts will be unveiled race day.

VENUE AND T-SHIRT UPDATE

The venue at the Eagle Fairgrounds is looking excellent right now. There are just a couple of spots of snow left out there and they will be gone with the next sunny day.

T-shirts have been ordered and I'm looking at a slightly different design possibly to keep everybody looking Cult Cross fresh. Stay tuned on that one.

AND, we are official as of today, insured, bonded and ready to rock it.

HERE'S A PLAN...

Dats wat I'm talkin bout

NEW CATEGORIES, KEEPING IT SIMPLE

With April 3rd just over a month away it';s time for a quick update on changes that will take place at the 2010 CultCross race with regards to Category changes. Since CultCross is no longer affiliated with the ACA I am going to a more lax "flight" system but will still have SS and Junior races. Three flights will be available for racers eliminating age classifications. There will be A,B and C flights for men and women. This hopefully will keep things even more grassroots and keep everything fun for everyone, plus you will get to line it up against people you might not normally get to race against in the more "structured" age classification format. Race entry will still be $20 and $10 for a second race. Juniors will be 16 and under and we will race for 30 minutes (or longer if they should choose). The third installment of CultCross should be another good time and I hope to see you all there! I'm trying to come up with some new course ideas, but I think courses of the past have been pretty rock solid according to your feedback, so look for more of the same with a tweak or two.

STAY TUNED FOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES..

And do not worry, Single speed will still be one of them, I am actually looking to eliminatwe age classifications and use "flights" instead to consolodate and have more people racing for fun. I'll keep you posted and listen for feedback as well. It's looking like A, B and C flights right now for men and women with a Junior race (free) and a SS cat as well. And you know the course will reflect courses of the past, which means alot of FUN for every rider.

WHY CULT CROSS IS NOT ON THE ACA CALENDER, BUT THE RACE IS ON!

For those of you planning on racing Cult Cross 2010, the race is ON. The reason you do not see it on the ACA Calender is because the ACA is just too difficult for a grassroots race like Cult Cross to deal with. By the time I pay all their fee's, join the clubs, pay for officials, pay for insurance, etc, the race just ends up being a pile of work for free. Hence, Cult Cross will be run independent of any sanctioning body this year under an independent insurance carrier. Stay tuned here for start times and other details, but we are on for April 3rd. The biggest problem for me with the ACA was that I asked for six dates to do two races, the fact that I do not want to travel to Denver due to work and other restraints puts me behind the 8 ball and the ACA will not sanction competing races on the same day even though I am 2.5 hours away from the front range. Promoters are cannabalizing one another every weekend for dates of events, and Cult Cross really has no weight as it makes very little money for the ACA. I'm about having fun at a fun event and keeping it affordable, I can not do this through the ACA.
