- September 18 - StarCrossed p/b Stanley – A Brand of PMI

Brian Vernor’s (Pure Sweet Hell) new film The Cyclocross Meeting is about the currently exploding US cyclocross scene and the emerging Japanese cyclocross scene. The Cyclocross Meeting follows Barry Wicks and Adam Mcgrath two top US races in New Jersey and Oregon, and then to Japan, where they compete with seven times Japanese National Champion Keiichi Tsujiura, and the up and coming talent Yu Takenouchi. The film screening is presented by Yakima, Chris King, Giro, and Nuun. The September 16th showing will be at the Seattle Musical Theater located at the Magnuson Park Community Center in Seattle. Tickets will be available online and Brown Paper Tickets. Words
On September 17th Herriott Sports Performance in conjunction with Lake Washington Velo and RAD Racing NW presents a FREE cyclocross clinic featuring HSP athlete, Jonathan Page, 2007 Cyclocross Worlds Silver Medalist. This clinic is a unique opportunity to take instruction from one of the most accomplished cyclocross racers in American history. Jonathan will preview the StarCrossed course with the riders in attendance and go over the nuances of the race start and the barrier section as well as give his personal insight on the other sections of the course. Clinic starts at 5:30 pm at the Marymoor Velodrome in King County’s Marymoor Park, Redmond, WA.
Finally the weekend of racing arrives with the rounds one and two of the North American Cyclocross Trophy (NACT) on September 18th and 19th at StarCrossed and Rad Racing GP.
First presented in 2002 StarCrossed was the nation’s first twilight cyclocross race. Now, it is the much anticipated season opener to the US cyclocross season kicking-off each year in style under the lights of the Marymoor Velodrome on a fast and spectator friendly course surrounded by a festive atmosphere. StarCrossed features great racing, DJ spun tunes, packed Deschutes Brewery beer garden, racing under the lights and the generous door prizes. Racing for the Elite Women starts at 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm for the Elite Men at King County’s Marymoor Park.
The longest running UCI cross race in the state of Washington, 2010 will be the 9th year for the Rad Racing GP. The event moves to the shores of Lake Sammamish for 2010 bringing a fabulous course featuring high speed balance by a brutal beach section on the shores of Lake Sammamish with views of the Cascade Mountains. The famous 80 meter thigh busting “Knapp-time Run-up” from past editions of the Rad Racing GP will be replaced by a equally long beach section that will challenge riders as they gamble on ride it or run it. Riders either really love it or they hate it but regardless they will be stirred on by frantic race fans in the beach side Deschutes Beer Garden. Racing for the Elite Women starts at 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm for the Elite Men and Lake Sammamish State Park.
