Greetings!
 
Even though we are still in the middle of the cyclocross season, I know some of you are already looking towards 2010. As we work to finish the new user website, we are as well. Make sure to take minute and check out the very short survey on information distribution.
Upcoming Weekend Races 
 
Random CX
Yet another new venue is in store for CX racers this weekend at Castle Cross. Just like last weekends RRV race it looks to be another great new place for a cross race, check it out.
 
Sunday brings the third race in the Boulder Racing Series. This is the time tested race at the Boulder Reservoir. For those that don't know, this is a superb test of cross skills with fast pavement and some tough sand. Not one to miss!
  
Next weekend is the biggest cross weekend of the year. Saturday, the 31st is the Blue Sky Cup at Xilinx. While Sunday, November 1st is the Boulder Cup. These combo UCI/ACA races are part of the North American Cyclocross Trophy Series. These events are pretty simple to describe, if you've raced them, you know they are some of the best in the country. If you haven't raced them you should definitely try them. This is also one of the best spectating weekends of the year as all the big names will be at the start of the men's and women's UCI races both days.
Information Distribution
 
As we come closer to launching the new user website, we are exploring integrating some additional means of distributing information to ACA members. These include RSS Feeds, Twitter Updates, and perhaps through Facebook.
 
Let us know your thoughts by taking this short survey.
Race Surveys 
 
If you raced any of the following races, please take a very short survey for that event by visiting the link below.
CX Nationals Mechanic Service 
 
Local Mechanic Todd Gold will be providing a unique transportation and mechanic service for local racers at Cross Nationals this year. Check out this flyer for more info.
 
- DO NOT FORGET that your 2009 cyclocross racing age is essentially your 2010 road racing age. This is designed to be in line with USAC/UCI regulations regarding cyclocross age.
That's all for now, see you at the races,
