| Volunteers Needed |
As you can imagine, putting on as many races as we do,
it gets very tiring and we can use all the help we can get.
Setup starts at 6:30am and lasts until the first race and we usually have bagels in the morning.
Registration and marshal help is needed all day long, and tear down starts at 3:30pm until 4:30pm.
Stick around after the race Pro race and help for ten minutes, it makes a huge difference.
Work for 3 hours or more and get a free entry. To help, check in at registration on race day.

| Prizes |
For the overall we'll have over $4,500 in cash/prizes from the generous support of our sponsors.
Cash will goto the fastest men and women and look out for primes along the way. Stay tuned for a prize list.

| Cyclocross ? |
Cyclocross originated in Europe as the answer to the off season of road racing during the winter.
Its been called the steeplechase of cycling, 6-8 minute laps over varied terrain with mandatory dismounts while using a bike
similar to road bike, but with enhancements that cater it to the sometimes mountain bike-like terrian.
Here are a few links with more info...
