Look out. Cyclo Cross is getting organized. Yup. Looks like there is now official license categories for cyclocross racing. Seems they are based not only on road license category or self picked as before but also based on mountain bike classification and earned points / # of participated cyclocross races. Upgrades will be handled much like road upgrades as race-placement points appear to be standardized. Hmmm. this upcoming season will be interesting as people get sorted to appropriate categories. Check 'em out. Categories 4 (beginner) to 1 (pro).

Upgrade Requirements - (cyclo-cross at bottom of article)
Lucky me... I raced expert mountain bike at one time and am now starting with my new cyclo cross category as a 3. Probably a good thing as last year I came in second in the Virginia Series beginner class and was on my way to a solid top ten at least in the North Carolina series beginner class.
Here's to skinny tires in the dirt :-)
