Hi everyone,

Saturday December 4th CRC is holding the last cross race of the year, at Darden Towe. One of the more epic courses out there, Darden Towe is a great family friendly venue as well. Additionally, the CRC Holiday Party is that night (7pm on, at 620 Ridgemont Road Earlysville Va 22936).

But to pull off one of the classic CRC races, we need your help with the following:

Thanks to the efforts of a bunch of people, CRC is going to be stepping up in
2011 with a renewed focus on racing. Back in the day, CRC was a Virginia BAR
powerhouse and it wasn’t uncommon to see CRC at the front of the race. Well,
its back to the future time as CRC is back in the race game and even fielding an
elite team. Mark King, Bill Scanlon and I will all be returning to CRC this
year to race. Additionally, Cat 1-2 BAR champion Dan King will be joining CRC
as will another superb bike racer in Marc Warner. But that is not all, we have

Looking like Saturday December 4th. We should have confirmation of that and some exciting news for CRC 2011 very soon.

Holiday party information, and maybe more.

Alot more.

Hey Everybody –

Impressive! I have been keeping records for 2 years on this program and this is the first time we have had this many people in the 20 min category!

FYI the course record (by a non professional rider) was set tonight – way to go Roger Friend.

The other two sub 20 min. performances were set by professional riders (one a visitor fresh from Belgium and the other our very ownwas Ben King).
Kudos to Alan T for shaving a whole min. off his last ride.

Here are the results:

1 Roger 0:19:31
2 Barry 0:20:26
3 Eric 0:20:30
4 Dustin 0:20:40
5 Shawn 0:20:46

Hi all,

CRC is planning the 2010 Wintergreen Ascent for May 1. Tonight we have our first organizational meeting. If you are interested in joining the organizational committee, the meeting is 6 PM tonight at Shenadoah Joes coffee shop.

Also, I know racing and training is very expensive. So if you are looking to save some money, volunteer yourself, or your family and friends, and get a free entry into the race. If you volunteer on race day, you can get a free entry to another CRC event. Shoot me an email if you are interested, and I will hook you up!
