The course has been substantially re-routed.  Lap times will be slightly shorter and much more action will unfold close to spectator spots.  It will feature the best parts of the 2006-2009 courses plus two new sections which will be a real pleasure to ride.  Our experienced course designers have been hard at work with swoopyness in mind.   We will have just enough slick spots to reward skillful bike handling but the Park is drier than it’s ever been for our race.  People are going to fly.

Of course, the Chili Cook Off, free beer from The Albany Pump Station, and elite series prizes and podium presentations for the entire NYCROSS Series will be this weekend as well.  You won’t want to miss it!

Elm Ave. Park is an easy 15 minutes from I-87 or I-90.  Plot your route online to 261 Elm Avenue, Delmar, NY.

Hope to see you there  -  Chuck Q

Due to overwhelming demand for Cat 5 race spots, the Capital Region Road Race is now offering a Category 4/5 field to compliment the sold out Cat 5 field.  If you are a Cat 5 racer and have been closed out of the Cat 5, you can now register for the 4/5 field at http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=10509.

We still need a few more corner marshals to pull this off properly.  PLEASE contact Paul McDonnell to volunteer.  All club members are expected to volunteer at at least one CBRC event each year.  If you haven’t stepped up yet, here’s your opportunity.

This year we are a part of the Masters Cycling Racing Association (MCRA) series.

A rolling 20-mile loop, with several steep climbs (plus a 3-mile neutral start), the NYCRRR is a perennial favorite.  Elevation gain is 1,300 feet per loop, maximum grade 16% (53×25 gearing recommended).  The course is located 10 miles South of Albany, in Ravena, NY.  Registration located at the Ravena/Coeymans/Selkirk High School on NYS Route 9W (1-mile north of Ravena).

To Enter: Pre-registration on www.BikeReg.com or Day-of Registration $40 (Except Juniors).
Staging: All races have a 3 mile neutral start from the High School parking lot (included in race length).
Rules: All USA Cycling Road Racing Rules apply (no aero-bars or sleeveless jerseys; helmets required).
Questions: e-mail Paul McDonnell.
