The schedule and venues for the 2009 Sand Creek Series have been announced. I’m not surprised that the Carmichael Training Systems Sand Creek International Classic will be held at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. It is a UCI race and part of the USA Cycling Pro MTB XCO Tour and the Western Final of the US Cup Series.
The rest of the series races will be at Bear Creek Park except the final will be at the Air Force Academy. It will also be the mountain bike race for the State
Games of America. There are plenty of great course options at the AFA so they should have a good course for the final.
Date | Venue |
Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day) | Bear Creek Park |
Wednesday, June 3 | Bear Creek Park |
Saturday, June 13 | Cheyenne Mountain State Park (UCI Race) (Pro XCT Race Report) |
Wednesday, June 24 | Bear Creek Park |
Wednesday, July 1 | Bear Creek Park |
Wednesday, July 8 | Bear Creek Park |
Saturday, August 1 | Air Force Academy |
In addition to these confirmed series races, there could be one more Wednesday race. Also there will be another race at Cheyenne Mountain State Park on Saturday, September 19th. It will not be part of the series.
Update 4/17/09: Instead of the September race at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, there will be a non-series race at Palmer Park on October 17th. Also a National series Short Track XC has been added on Friday, June 12th.
