Lion of Fairfax Opens New CX Series

What is this Cup you talk of?

"The NCNCA Cup presented by Sycip Cycles"

Yeah baby ... it's on.

The Lion of Fairfax CX race opens up this new series for us Nor-Crossers. Apparently, Sycip has donated a CrossDresser frame to the series and a couple of powdercoat paintjobs as well.

right on ... details on how those will be distributed will be up soon.

Lowdown on The Series? At this point, DirtyDaveCarr and the DarkOneMaile have come up with the following:

Master 35 A Women
Master 45 A Men

Junior Women
Singlespeeds

For points tracking, it's the best 4 out of 5 including the finals at Golden Gate Park. There will be T-shirts and socks for sale. All proceeds will be funneled into the prize purse for the season.

The end of series prizes including cash and schwag ~ handed out at the finals at GGP, also including a raffle for all participants in the series.

*Just a comment on categories. As noted there will be twelve cats for points tracking, however EVERY category at the event is open for racing at all the CUP races. Even though we aren't tracking points for every cat, everyone is invited to come out and race and there will be a great turnout in every event at the CUP races. Bring your best game and come have some fun.

Why, that just sounds like a barrel of fun.

So, back to Fairfax.

Last year the RockLobsters dominated the Elite Men with DJ Snead, Simon the Vicker, AKrakulak, and Hooptie sweeping the top-4. This year might see a bunch of the big hitters down swinging in SinCity for CrossVegas. Poor suckers. But, maybe they can jet back home to fight for some real glory - local style.

Those who stick in Vegas for the weekend will be missing out on the $6K in loot the organizers of this year's Lion of Fairfax have put together. Brian Bucker of Big Swinging Cycles has teamed up with the Dolce Vita crew to put together a kickin' prize list as well as a sweet kid's race to give us some serious cuteoverload photo opportunities.

and all this fun helps send proceeds to assist White Hill Middle School.

that rocks.

In '06 it was Rachel LaLaLloyd and Shelley gOlds rocking White Hill. They went 1-2 for the PROMAN squad ahead of VeloBella's mighty Kassoy.

This year? It really depends on who makes the trek down to Vegas and gets lost for the weekend. Personally, I see the RockLobster'ettes (yeah, i'm biased) Carey and Kerlin taking over the top spots, since I know Olds is going down to Vegas with el Patron, Anthony G of Cal Giant Starberries, and after that will be focusing 100% on Track Nationals in early October. But, maybe a $K booty bag will entice her to put in one more cross race before Track Natz.

Or, who knows ... maybe Barbarella or MissMetzger will make a showing and run wild over Marin. The Fairfax course might be a dry fast one ... made for someone already pushing some speed this early in the season. Or maybe, just maybe P'Nut Vardaros will peep in and show off her new Vanderkitten colors.

Can't wait to see how that rumbles out.

Anyway, with all the categories in the hunt for series glory ... I can't wait to scribble down a bunch of exaggerations and smacktalk about the racings and results. And you know i'll be snapping a few pics of it, too.

see you there!
