Bay Area Super Prestige Series
 
Everybody starts – and everybody finishes the 2009 Bay Area Super Prestige Cyclocross Series, presented by Cannondale
 
 

Seventh Season - Seizoen Zeven – Saison Sept – whether it’s English, Dutch or French this means we’ve pulled out even more resources to provide every competitor with a fighting chance to enjoy their cherished moments in the Red Zone. We’re returning to most of our favorite venues for the past few years (except the casualty of the California budget trauma – Candlestick State Rec. Area) reloaded and hoping Mr. “El Nino” will favor us with a little bit of early winter storms.

New Categories for 2009 – 2 additional categories have been added – with growth in these areas it’s time to recognize more athletes with Series competition of their own – U18 Women and Single Speed Category “B”. We’ve adjusted our start times for some categories and made different combinations in order to provide the best opportunities for racing – please check below for 2009 start times.

Neutral Service - Cannondale joins us for 2009 with a boatload of ‘cross bikes that will be featured in Pit #2 for Neutral Service for any and all competitors. When we began our neutral wheel pit, brought to you by Ritchey, back in 2005, we wanted to give riders every possible chance to finish their events. Ritchey returns with our Neutral wheels, SRAM returns with Chad and their talented Pit #1 crew - we want to make sure everyone has all the ammo they need to cross the finish line. Our Goal for 2009 – Zero DNF’s

Night Race – We have been invited back to Brisbane’s Sierra Point for one of last year’s highlights – our Night Race. We brought 16 sets of construction lights – you brought the party atmosphere – let’s do it again! Saturday night – Nov. 14 th

A Note about Numeric Categories - Here at the Bay Area Super Prestige Series we don't feel that it is in the best spirit to hold people to a numeric category.
