The venue for the Team Evergreen Racing CX race has been approved by the Parker Town Council! The race will be held at the Salisbury Equestrian Park which is off of Motsenbocker Road in Parker. The course is mainly hard pack double track - about 2 miles per lap -mainly flat but one or two runups - paved finish line and a little bit of sand to run thru on the Cherry Creek beach. The venue has plenty of parking, a large grass area for vendors and should be a great place to race CX. This will not be a Cross Cup race...maybe next year.
The next step in the process is to get a race date from ACA at the CX Promoters meeting on Feb. 26. Currently, I do have a tentative date of Saturday, November 12. Once I get a firm date from ACA, I can submit the formal paperwork to Parker for final approval.
I'm going to need all the help I can get from Team Evergreen Racing members, especially all of you who race CX. Please plan on coming to the race not only to race, but to help out as well. If you haven't already contacted me with a volunteer offer please do so. I'm populating a spreadsheet with all the jobs we need done such as course setup day before race (this is the big one), registration, marshalls for parking, etc., and course teardown. Of course you can work before and/or after your race.
I'm planning on having a course pre-ride at the venue, sometime in August (before CX season starts) - I'll plan it around races and events the best I can. (I have a pretty busy ride schedule myself). If someone brings beer, we can call it a Pre-race party...so you'll get to celebrate and get a sneak peak at the course. Hope to see you there.
