Cherry Pie: Traditional course, New categories, Reg Open
Wed, 01/10/2007 - 3:08pm
Good news for those of you who would have missed the traditional Cherry Pie Crit course with its uphill finish and hairpin turnaround.
The Napa Downtown Merchants’ Association has refused to endorse the Town Race format for this year, and we have thus withdrawn our modified event permit application.
The 32nd Cherry Pie Criterium on February 11th will return to its popular traditional site at the Napa Corporate Park for 2007!
Now that the Meritage Resort at Napa has been completed between turns 2 & 3, the course is cleaner and smoother than in recent years. (The Resort is available for romantic pre-Valentine’s weekends with your understanding sig. other. A great way to politically pave the road for your 2007 season! :wink: http://www.themeritageresort.com/)
Now that the question of locus is finally resolved, pre-registration is now open at BikeReg.com. http://www.bikereg.com/
The final categories and race info are new this year and ordered to make it easier for mentors and multiple category racers. They are as follows:
