November 2, 2010 (Fort Collins, CO) -- Fort Collins, CO is home to some of the United State's best cyclocross racers - including Meredith Miller, Georgia Gould and the up and coming Skyler Trujillo - and next weekend it hosts the third stop of the Greenware® US Gran Prix of Cyclocross on November 13 and 14.

The USGP New Belgium Cup features two days of amateur and professional bike racing highlighted with a battle for the top step of the podium as the hometown favorites take on the country's top professional athletes in the marquee professional events.

Both the professional women's and men's fields are deep and promise thrilling racing each day. The women's race will see National Champion, World Cup winner and Colorado resident Katie Compton (Planet Bike/ Stevens) taking on confirmed riders: Kaitlin Antonneau (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld); Meredith Miller and Teal Stetson-Lee (Cal Giant/Specialized), USGP Series leader Georgia Gould, Katerina Nash and Amy Dombroski (LUNA), Maureen Bruno Roy (Bob's Red Mill); Sue Butler and Amanda Miller (HUDZ Subaru). The men's field will see Series-leader and current National Champion Tim Johnson (Cannondale p/b CyclcorossWorld.com) and teammates Jeremy Powers and Jamey Driscoll dueling a strong field of pros. Among those seeking to break the Cannondale juggernaut's vice grip on the top step of the podium are: Todd Wells (Specialized Factory); Ryan Trebon and Barry Wicks (KONA); Chris Jones and Zach McDonald (Rapha/FOCUS); Canadian Champion Geoff Kabush (Maxxis/Rocky Mount); Adam Craig (GIANT); Jesse Anthony (Cal Giant / Specialized); Tristan Shouten who is having a breakout season; Troy Wells and Brady Kappius (Team Clif Bar) and many more.

Loretta Roller, a 68 year old Longmont resident, received her Wish of a Lifetime Sunday, Oct. 31 at the Boulder Cyclocross Cup in the form of an adult tricycle provided by Jeremy Bloom’s Wish of a Lifetime.

For several years, Roller has wanted a tricycle that she can ride for exercise. She previously owned one and enjoyed riding. Unfortunately, it was stolen. Roller lives on a poverty level income and has found it a nearly impossible dream to obtain another cycle. She has tried, but all she
has been able to afford is a bike lock. Roller is overweight, and it exacerbates her health problems. She is motivated to improve her health because she wants to be healthy for her grandchildren. Roller says a tricycle is a way to “really get exercising and lose weight before I have more health problems.” JBWOL presented Roller with her new tricycle at the Boulder Cup as a way to welcome her into the cycling community of boulder.

Not sure how strong of a bid Boulder had put in for the 2012-13 cross championships but next host will be Madison Wisconsin, not Colorado. And not the math is not incorrect, looks like there won't be any cx for 2011 because it is being moved to January instead. Read Press Release from USA Cycling below for full details

Colorado Springs, Colo. (October 28, 2010) -- USA Cycling is pleased to name Madison, Wisconsin as the host city for the 2012-2013 Cyclo-cross National Championships.

Additionally, the national governing body announced today that for 2012 and 2013, the event will move from its traditional dates during the second week of December to the first week in January.

Although the United States has held its cyclo-cross national championships in December for a number of years, the move to January was proposed to better align the event with the international calendar. Additionally, the move will better support the U.S. athletes who are training to compete in the world championships slated for Louisville, Ky. later in January.

USA Cycling originally began the discussion surrounding the date change last year. After a participant survey showed member support for the move, the final decision was confirmed this fall.

Huge cycling weekend coming up in Colorado, as a racer you have ability to compete in an "A" game, as a spectator you will have the chance to see our nations best cyclocross racers in nice weather and attend some cycling parties that helping others or just having fun.
