[NCNCA] Cherry Pie Crit News - Traditional course, New categories, Registration is open.

[Raphael, Jess]

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Race format for this year, and we have thus withdrawn our event permit
application. 

 

The 32nd Cherry Pie Criterium on February 11th will return to its
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! http://www.themeritageresort.com/)

 

Now that the question of locus is finally resolved, pre-registration is
now open at http://www.bikereg.com/

 

The final categories and race info are new this year, as follows:
