The 2010 NorCal Series schedule appears below. Series champions will be crowned in every category at the finals at the Lagrange Fall Classic in Weaverville, October 22, 23 & 24. Champions will be awarded with a 1st place medal and special Nor-Cal Series from Sock Guy, second and third overall in each category will also receive medals. Champions will also be eligible to purchase a championship jersey at our wholesale cost of $60 for cross-country short-sleeve, $40 for downhill 3/4 sleeve.).

 

HOW DO I ENTER THE SERIES?: Do any of the series events and you're automatically in. We'll tally the points on ALL riders. Just be sure to always be consistent in how you put your name when you enter so that "William Smith," "Willy Smith," and "Bill Smith," don't all get tallied.

POINTS: Points structure is at the bottom of this page. To maximize your series effort be sure to always enter the same category at each race. Your points from one category can't be transferred to another. For instance, if you start the season as a sport but decide to move up to expert, those points earned as a sport will not be added to those points you earned as an expert.

HOW MANY RACES?: A rider can enter as many races as he/she wants, but no, you don't have to do any minimum number of races to be eligible for a championship; you just need to have the most points.

RACING AGE: Racing age is your age on December 31. So for instance, although you may be 34 today, if you'll be 35 at your New Year's Eve party then your racing age for the whole year is still 35.

DEADLINE FOR CORRECTIONS: With so many races and so many riders, there's bound to be a few mis-entered points. Please look over the points in your category closely throughout the season and let us know of any corrections needed BEFORE October 5. NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE AFTER THAT DATE.

THE FINALS: A rider must be present at the finals at the Lagrange Fall Classic to be presented with the championship medal and socks. We won't be mailing out medals or socks to points series winners, or medals to the second or third place series riders who do not attend Lagrange.

RACING RULES: While the series is not a NORBA series, we do follow NORBA rules. For instance, cross-country riders must be self-sufficient and cannot accept outside mechanical help. Racers must complete the event on the same bicycle as the one they started on. Once results have bee posted, there is a fifteen protest period, after which the results will be declared official and no changes will be made.
