Race 5 (Rescheduled): Saturday, January 5, 2018 at LangeTwins Winery

LangeTwins Winery is a favorite venue in the Sacramento Cyclocross calendar, and is back again for 2018 and back in November! Cooler temps and the chance of mud mean the fun factor will be high. There are some run-ups and great off camber hills, and the crew at LangeTwins always takes hosting to a whole new level. Look for another great course with contributions from pro cyclist Cody Kaiser, and wine tasting for those 21+ in The Press Room.
Note: This race was originally scheduled on Saturday, November 17 but was moved due to unhealthy air quality as a result of the Camp fire in Butte County.


Weather Update:
Our CX prayers have been answered, and we finally have some "proper CX weather" headed our way!
LangeTwins Winery is clearing out their Barrel Room and will have tables, chairs, and heaters for people to escape the inclement weather.
So no excuses! Go race, go cheer, and then come inside to warm up, drink wine, celebrate a great season, and kick off your New Year with friends.

They're emptying this room out for us to stay dry!

2016 Course preview: http://youtu.be/j2o0Hez036E We will have to the course slightly since more tanks have been installed in parts of last year's course, but this should give you a sense.

Chip Placement: Please wear your RFID chip on the OUTSIDE of your sock! If your sock gets too mud-soaked it won't read.

Pre-Riding: If you would like to pre-ride the course, you may do so from 8:00 am to 9:25 am on race morning. If you arrive after that time, please queue just past the finish line as a race is finishing up. The race announcer will let you know when you may get on the course to pre-ride.

Course description: The course at LangeTwins will feature firm ground and high speeds as you weave around the property both on dirt and pavement. The usual features like the flyover, stairs, and off camber levy all return with the addition of a few challenging false flat climbs, soft turns and a sand pit.

Race support: Pete Tipshus, owner of Happy Trails Mechanical Support and long-time supporter of Sacramento Cyclocross, will be out at this race if you have a last-minute bike crisis. If you take advantage of his help, please send a little love his way since he donates his time, skills and supplies to support our races.
