Fun and interesting website.
Heres the course.

Race Date!?!?!?!

2007-03-22T12:26:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota 'cross calendars is getting turned on its head right now- basically way too many organizers/proposed races than the calendar has room for. That's great!

Once we get through this, 'cross racing in minnesota will be improved. Better/bigger/more competitive calendar. We just hope we can fit Northfield in. I can't wait to run up that hill again.

Jake Boyce is running around like a man on a mission at St. Olaf trying to figure out what dates we can and can't do.

Well, back to chilling and training in warm Austin, TX.

This blog is boring...

Staging:
The promoters take the liberty to determine the staging order. As planned its like this:
Staging Order:
UCI Points
Top 5 CRY points (most updated, so probably from 10/29 points)
Race Promoters (hehe)
6-15 CRY points

Women's Race:
Elite Women's Race will start 2 minutes BEFORE Men's B
Based on our course and that time frame, everybody should be strung out before contact between the 2 groups.
B Men- Sorry guys, but they have to stare at your butts all season, and they're the best of Minnesota. Let's give them a turn at the front for once.
We're Feminists here (well, at least at Carleton.....)

Download Flyer here.
The directions on Flyer are Wrong. It will be fixed soon. In the meantime:
Take exit #69 for Highway 19 (Northfield/Lonsdale Exit). Go East on Highway 19 towards Northfield. Just before a road closed sign (after you pass a St. Olaf entrance) turn left on Forest Ave. Turn left immediately onto Lincoln Ave. For Registration turn left on St. Olaf Ave- go to Buntrock Commons (Big-windowed building at top of hill). For the start/finish continue straight on Lincoln Ave and look to your left.

Thanks to Jeff Kerkove for design.
