Season Seven: The Biggest Ever

If you’ve read the previous post you’ll notice we are starting early this year at a beautiful new venue, Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens. The course will be demanding, considering it’s the first race of the year, but when does a cross race not hurt? There will be lots of fun after the race on Saturday too, so stick around. This year, for the first time, we actually have a cash title sponsor, The Town of Unicoi, TN. You’ll notice the tag line on the race flyer says “Gateway to Cycling Adventure” and that could not be more true. There are a multitude of rides in the Unicoi area, both road and mountain. Probably some of the best riding on the planet is in the Unicoi area. Plus, the town has big plans for the future of cycling in their community, and this cross race weekend is only the beginning.

You may be wondering, why all the separate race dates and fliers?, simple answer, we’ve grown beyond what a training series permit at USAC will allow. With four different venues and dates, each race has become a cog in the 35 c MSG tubie! This has given us a unique opportunity to offer day sponsorships for each race. As a result, the series cash prize total is just over $6000.00. We’ve added more coinage to the Pro Men and Women’s fields, and for the first time, we’ll be paying the Masters 35+ category! The overall has seen a modest increase over previous years as well. All other categories will still be receiving great prizes from our awesome merch sponsors, many of which are sponsoring for the first time. We will also be giving away frame sets, complete bikes and a cross wheelset! keep checking back for the details.

We are also honored to play host to the the first full SECCC Cyclo-cross race season by adding collegiate races to the October 30th race and the December 4th race. collegiate riders can count on having their own races, which won’t knock them out of racing their USAC cat later in the day. We’ll also be assisting King College with their Collegiate race on October 31st and ETSU’s race on December 5th (both will have USAC Categories). We really enjoy young riders and want to perpetuate cyclo-cross into the future by helping SECCC include cyclo-cross as part of the collegiate cycling calender.

Keep checking back as more race flyers will be posted as they are permitted. Also, look for the course maps to go up, a lot of the old favorites will be back, plus a few new ones thrown in the midst. Don’t forget the training race on Labor Day at Winged Deer in JC. We really need your support to build up frames for the MSG Juniors Cyclo-cross Team. Help make September 18th and 19th the biggest cross race in the history of TNCX and season 7 the best ever! BIG PRIZES, BIG VENUES, BIG TIRES AND BIG FUN!

Cross Parts Training Race! Labor Day, September 6, 2010

dwayne — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:25:24 +0000

Come on over to Winged Deer Park on Labor Day, September 6th and bust out those rusty old skills and those rusty old legs. Find out what you need to work on before your first race of the year (which will hopefully be 9/18/10 in Unicoi, TN.) All you need is a usable part (see flyer) and $5.00. The parts will go to build bikes for the fledgling MSG Juniors Team, which now has 9 members. Most of the kids have bikes, but we are sure to get some new ones without, so we will be building up a few frames for kids to use. Entry fees, minus the USAC fees, will go to the team. For directions to Winged Deer go here. For the details click the image at left and download the flyer. Hope to see you there. In the words of Timmy Johnson after Cross Vegas last year, “Wish I’d done a cross race before this.” Oh, the pain train’s a comin’!
