One More Pikes Peak Region Mountain Bike Race

Even though the 2009 cyclocross season is in full swing, mountain bike racing isn’t quite over in the Pikes Peak region. But first I let something sneak up without posting about it.

About the Shot Photography has Sand Creek Series 2010 calendar. Order deadline is October 8th which is today, Thursday. The calendar is $17.50. The calendar can be picked up at the October 17th race.

The Sand Creek Fall Classic mountain bike race is October 17th in Palmer Park. The Carmichael Training Systems Sand Creek Series is finished so it’s not part of the series. You can view the race flyer here. The pre-entry deadline is Thursday, October 15th.

The course hasn’t been finalized yet but will be in the northeast part of the park and around Lazy Land. It is expected to be about 2.5 miles. If it’s where I think it is there should be a little technical coming off the ridge not far from the dog park. There’ll also be some open power sections too.

Once the course is finalized, I’ll try getting the info posted here. The course map is now on the Sand Creek Sports site. It looks like it’ll be a good classic of some easier trails and least a bit of technical.

The UCI Pro XCT race will be back in 2010 and will carry more UCI points. Correction: The Pro XCT race will be once again be a category 3 UCI race. Andy was asked to put on a category 2 but didn’t think he had the budget.

The Sand Creek Pro XCT 2010 dates are July 10 & 11 and will be the Pro XCT Series Final race as well as the final National XC Championship Qualification Race. The XC National Championships are the following weekend in Granby, CO at the Sol Vista ski area.

I haven’t heard any details on the Sand Creek Series for 2010 but from what I’ve heard, I expect it’ll be back with at least as many races as this year.
