FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
September 19, 2007, 2007; Southampton, NY, USA: World Professional Cyclocross Champion Erwin Vervecken is coming to the two-day Whitmore’s Landscaping Super Cross Cup in New York on October 6 and 7. Not content with “only” having the richest women’s cyclocross in the world, promoter Myles Romanow has also significantly raised the profile of the men’s portion of the two-day international race with the signing of the Belgian Superstar.
Vervecken is the only reigning World Cyclocross Champion to compete on North American soil.
Vervecken, a three-time Professional World Champion racing for the Fidea Cycling Team, joins last year’s Women’s World Championship Silver Medalist Katie Compton and a who’s who of North American stars for what is now undoubtedly the finest scheduled line-up for any cyclocross in North America this season. Also scheduled to compete are multi-time US cyclocross and mountain bike champion Ryan Trebon, America’s first international cyclocross star Tim Johnson along with his many-time Canadian cycling champion Lyne “the Canadian Legend” Bessette, and a host of other champions.
The Whitmore’s Landscaping Super Cross Cup is the only UCI-sanctioned cyclocross race in the state of New York. Held in the Long Island town of Southampton, the area is more generally known as “The Hamptons” and is famous for its ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, so Erwin Vervecken should feel right at home when he visits. On the other hand, budget-minded racers and spectators have numerous affordable hotel options, most notably in nearby Riverhead which, perhaps prophetically, sits alongside Flanders Bay. The race organizers are currently working on a list of affordable accommodations for the hordes of domestic riders expected to enter the amateur classes as a result of Vervecken’s appearance.
Additional information on this development will be sent shortly. For detailed information on the Whitmore’s Landscaping Super Cross Cup on October 6 and 7 in Southampton New York, see BikeReg.com or call (631) 255-9568.

-0- (note from promoter...a little shameless plugging doesn't hurt!) While Mr Vervecken may have attended a race in Gloucester, previous research would seem to indicate that Gloucester is, in fact, another country. Since the lovely Ms Wallace has confirmed that in fact, sea monsters do not exist, there clearly there is no other explanation, for all the alleged "tough guys" and girls, of the NE and MABS for not coming to a race with
-the best venue
-the best support staff (pioneer)
-best reggae bands
-best dinner/food concessions
-best free energy food
-best prize list.
-best bathrooms and showers on site.
-best damn prize list anywhere
Not only that it's in an area that is.. well the best! This is NY baby! Number 1!!!! We have the best
-city (NY)
-Crazy tourist attractions
-Sports teams
