Get you’re clicking fingers ready because registration for Cross Vegas, America’s biggest, baddest cyclocross race, opens this Saturday, August 1 at 12 noon (EST), and it’ll fill up fast.  Categories for Elite Men, Elite Women and Wheelers & Dealers (Industry) are all open to enter.
This year’s spectator format will be a little different than what past attendees may have experienced.  Due to the massive crowds and popularity, the event organizers are being required to use street-side fencing to keep people from jay walking, and they’re actually charging for admission ($8) and beer (probably also $8…each), and they’ll be checking bags to keep outside food and drink from getting in and stealing sales from their vendors.  Good event, lame that we can’t bring our own drinks.  Perhaps we’re higher class than NASCAR, but still…
The race is held on the first night of the Interbike tradeshow, September 23.  Gates open at 6pm.  Registration will be through BikeReg if you want to bookmark it now.  Hit ‘more’ to see the event poster…
The shuttles run ’til 11pm, but take it from this guy, the Registration isn’t the only thing that fills up fast.  If you don’t have to catch the finish, go ahead and line up early.
