December 12, 2007 - DOMINANT PERFORMANCES AT ROCKBURN CROSS

December 9, 2007; Conshohocken, PA, USA: The final race of Mid-Atlantic racing season was marked by a little rain, a little mud and a lot of domination. But it was Kenda Tire’s Jennifer Maxwell who walked away the big winner. The event was the nineteenth and final round of the Mason-Dixon Cyclocross Challenge, a contest to determine the best all-around rider in the Mid-Atlantic based on the most, best finishes in the Elite and Elite Age-Group divisions. At the start of the Elite Women’s race, Maxwell knew she needed a win to take over the lead in the standings before the men took their turn. Betsy Shogren ( FORT Factory Team) dominated the race, but Maxwell did what she needed to do by finishing as the best age 35+ rider and thus scoring the win she needed. READ MORE

November 30, 2007; Conshohocken, PA, USA: Matt Brancheau and his Lateral Stress Velo crew have pulled out all the stops for the first running of Rockburn Cross in Elkridge Maryland on December 9. Most impressive is the relationship LSV has developed with the government of Howard County, which owns the Rockburn Branch Park where the race will be held. Rather than the usual tenant-landlord relationship, Howard County has come on board as a full-blown co-promoter of the race. “They want to see more people using their park facilities,” said Brancheau, “and they’re excited about co-hosting this race.” READ MORE

November 21 , 2007 - VERGE MAC’S “CLASSIC” GRAND FINALE WEEKEND

November 23, 2007; Conshohocken, PA, USA: The Verge MAC brings down the curtain on its 2007 campaign with a “classic” double-header of UCI racing on the first weekend of December. Mike Hebe’s Carlisle Classic in central Pennsylvania kick-starts the racing weekend on Saturday, December 1 and the traditional season-ending Capital Cross Classic brings international cyclocross back to the Washington DC suburb of Reston Virginia the following day. One thing that has changed dramatically for the Pennsylvania leg of the weekend is the new venue at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. After outgrowing its former home in nearby Lower Allen Township, race promoter Mike Hebe has relocated his race to the Carlisle Fairgrounds, site of the some of the world’s largest auto shows. The new venue not only provides more infrastructure and a centralized location, it also offers the racers a different kind of challenge. “The new course is fast,” says race promoter Hebe. “It may be the fastest cyclocross course in America. But there are enough obstacles to mix up the action, and most of the course will be visible from the covered bleachers.” READ MORE

November 21 , 2007 - HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND PROMOTES A CYCLOCROSS

November 23, 2007; Conshohocken, PA, USA: Howard County Maryland has been recognized by Sports Illustrated and the National Recreation and Parks Association as “Sportstown Maryland” and also received recognition from those organizations in 2005 as the best in the Mid-Atlantic Region for Community Sports. Now, Howard County’s Parks and Recreation department is taking a leading role in “ America’s fastest-growing participant sport” by promoting the first-annual Rockburn Cross on December 9. While other municipalities allow (or sometimes even encourage) their cyclocross races, it is believed that this is the first time an American government has actually taken the financial initiative to create its own cyclocross race. Howard County Parks and Recreation will be undertaking the promotion of the race in conjunction with Lateral Stress Velo, Inc., which also promotes the hugely successful “BikeJam” in Baltimore that is part of USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar.

November 21 , 2007 - SHOWTIME! CYCLING’S SPECTATOR SPECTACLE - ELITE BIKE RACERS BRING CYCLING’S “STEEPLECHASE” TO TOWN

 November 20, 2007; Conshohocken, PA, USA: Cyclocross, the fast-growing and wildly entertaining combination of on-and-off-road bicycle racing returns to Lake Fairfax Park in Reston Virginia for the Capital Cross Classic on Sunday, December 2. The event, which is part of the prestigious Verge MAC International Cyclocross Series, will take place rain-or-shine at Lake Fairfax Park and spectator admission is free. What people usually remember most about cyclocross races are high-speed flocks of colorful racers and the obstacles that force the riders to jump off their bikes and carry them. Every course has at least one set of “planks”, 16” high wooden barriers that the racers must hurdle every lap before jumping back on their bikes at a full run. And it’s exciting because you can see so much of a cyclocross race that it’s very easy to follow the action.” Cyclocross is, apparently, also a forum for audience participation. “Yeah, it can get pretty noisy at some of the races what with the sounds of the bikes, the announcer, the music and the people cheering the racers. People can go pretty crazy making noise. My favorites last year were the middle-aged women at the race on the Granogue Estate standing on the side of a steep, muddy hill -- in heels, designer clothes and jewelry -- wildly ringing cowbells. They had these big, bemused smiles that practically screamed ‘I can’t believe I’m having this much fun’.” READ MORE

This year, the Capital Cross Classic is part of a two-day Verge MAC doubleheader in conjunction with Mike Hebe’s Carlise Cross Classic that will give Elite racers even more opportunity to score valuable UCI points.

From sticky mud to high-speed asphalt, Granogue’s catalog of course obstacles includes everything except a killer rabbit. “Our race course is no flat-ass Belgianesque wanna-be,” says Granogue’s quirky promoter, Tom McDaniel, “It’s a full-on American cross with monster hills and all sorts of excellent stuff like that.” McDaniel fondly remembers the first time CyclocrossWorld.com founder Stu Thorne saw the property, “He was just getting out of his car, and he looked at me wide-eyed and said ‘It’s a cyclocross playground!’”.
