Course direction: Counter clockwise

Bibs: On the left

Course description: A course designed by Cody Kaiser heads up over the flyover before decending into the fields around the winery. Levy's provide short elevation gains before heading out to a new addition for this year. Tight turns and steep rollers in the trees will be a great addition to the course before coming back into high speed second half on both gravel and pavement. This course will challenge every racer individually and provide for some great championship racing.

District Championships Overview

USAC License Required
This is the only race in the 2014 Sacramento Cyclocross season that is sanctioned through USA Cycling... so we decided to go big and make it the Northern California and Nevada State Championship! All racers will be required to either hold a current annual USA Cycling license or purchase a one-day license for $15. State Championship medals will be awarded to the top three racers in each category who hold an annual license.

Neutral Support
With the super-muddy conditions, we're bringing out SRAM neutral support with mechanic, bikes and wheels in the pits to keep you going.

FAQ's About District Championships

What date will you use to calculate race age?
The Sacramento Cyclocross series uses December 31, 2014 to calculate race age. However, we recognize that USA Cycling uses December 31, 2015 to calculate race age for cyclocross. (This is very strange to us, but that's beside the point!) Therefore, we will keep racers in their normal, series-wide class; however, racers who are eligible to race in a higher age class may request to change classes when they check-in at registration. Please note that your series points will not transfer if you choose to race in a different class. For the junior classes where there is an age cap (9 - 10, 11 - 12, etc), we will use the December 31, 2015 date for ALL junior racers.

How will callups work?
Because this is the NCNCA district championship, the first row will be callups based on USA Cycling cyclocross ranking points. The second row will be callups based on Sacramento Cyclocross series points. You must be pre-registered OR have raced at least one Sacramento Cyclocross race this season to be on the callup list! Pre-registration closes on Thursday, December 11 at 6:00 pm.

How will series points be calculated for the "extra" classes available at this race?
USA Cycling required additional classes be available for this race because it is NCNCA district championships. (Men's A 55+ and Men's A 65+, Women's A 45+ and 55+, and additional junior classes.) We will stage these classes separately, then start them with the classes available throughout the whole series. After the race is over, we will combine classes when appropriate and calculate series points based on those normal classes. Please note that your series points will not transfer if you choose to race in a completely different class (e.g. A's instead of B's).

Do I need a USA Cycling license to race this day?
ALL racers must be licensed through USA Cycling to participate in this race. Racers who have a 2014 annual USA Cycling license meet this qualification. Racers who do not have an annual license may purchase a one-day license for $10 at registration on race day. Please note: Only racers with an annual USA Cycling license are eligible for NCNCA district championship medals.

The series championship will use your six best races out of the eight race series. Racers must start at least five races to be eligible for the series podium.

You will be issued a reusable RFID chip for the entire season. A $20 deposit will be added to your first race, and is fully refundable when you return the chip at the end of the season.

You will register online one time! When you register online, decide how many races you can attend this season. The more races you register for online, the more money you save per race. Online pre-registration will close on Thursday, December 11 at 6 pm. It will reopen for future races on Monday, December 15.

Pre-registering online saves you money, but you can still come out to any race!
