Glittering bejeweled tributes to disposable income soon to be splattered into muddy skeletons of magic metals and composites...one ultimately indistinguishable from the other...mud becomes the mechanism of equality... - The final race of the 2003 River City Bicycles Cyclocrocross Crusade series is this Sunday, 11/23/03. - This race is also the State/District Cyclocross Championships. Coveted State Championships medals will be awarded by OBRA. - Double series points will also be awarded in each category and will, no doubt affect the overall series standings. The category winners are still up in the air at this point, in fact, there are several categories where the top riders are separated by single digits. - As if that was not enough, it is also the 3rd race in the "Grail Della Grunge" friendly series between Portland and Seattle. Portland holds a slim lead in the challenge thus far and will likely extend that lead this weekend. - As an added incentive to the Elite Men and Women in their battle for the Grail Della Grunge, we are adding a cash prize list to this race ($500/ Men Cat A; $250/ Women Cat A)!!! - Registration for the 2003 Cyclocross National Championships will be available on site. Check out www.crosscrusade.com for more information.
