We’re ready for ya! Btw, some of your licenses just expired so ante up. And no, there is not a live stream of this event no matter how many times the spammers post a link. 🤬

A few housekeeping items for those racing this weekend…please read to the end.

-Venue will open at 0930 Saturday and 0800 Sunday - if you arrive earlier than these times you may be waiting outside the gate.

-Registration will open 90min prior to the first race each day. That’s 1030 Saturday and 830 Sunday. Registration for each wave will close 15 minutes prior to posted start time.

-Please try have your USAC license renewed/purchased online prior arriving at registration. Some racers have had difficulty accessing their network data onsite so we strongly recommend doing this in advance of arrival. There will be a paper option onsite but..why?

-As in prior years, race whatever rig you desire but you cannot win a state CX championship medal on a MTB unless in junior or cat 5 races. Likewise, you can only podium in single speed if riding a dedicated singlespeed bike. Tire width will be unregulated.

-For all you state champions on Sunday, please make sure to leave your size & mailing address with registration so your jersey can be sent to you in approximately 6-8 weeks.

-On Sunday the farm will be hosting one of its monthly markets (starting at noon) which usually draws a lot of people. So it will be a festival-like atmosphere but that means plan to arrive plenty early for your race to avoid parking issues etc.

-GPS directions through Bikereg or this page should bring you into Critter Creek Farm off CR231. However, for those of you who like to read GPS maps without using the direction function, it may appear as if there is also an entrance off SR121. There is not. So you can only access race site from CR 231.
