Race 6: Saturday, November 23, 2019 at LangeTwins Winery

LangeTwins Winery is a favorite venue in the Sacramento Cyclocross calendar, and we're once again shooting for a race in November! (Figers crossed there's no smoke this year!) 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.

Important note: Due to the winery's licensing, no beer (not even your own) is allowed on the premises at this race. LangeTwins pulls out all the corks to host us - please be respectful and indulge in wine for the day!

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.

Course length: 1.65 miles

Elevation gain per lap: 95 feet

Course direction: Clockwise

Bibs: On the right

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. Please do not ever pass someone who is currently racing! If you have any questions, we are happy to answer them at the registration tent.

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.

Prices and Series Information


The series championship will use your six best races out of the eight race series.

You will be issued a reusable RFID chip for the entire season. A $20 deposit will be added to your first race, and is fully refundable when you return the chip at the end of the season.

If you pre-register online before Thursday, November 21 at 11:59 pm you will register for a "Race Credit" that is good at any race of the season - no transfer fees. The more credits you buy at one time, the more you save. When you buy "Race Credits" you do not need to tell us in advance which race(s) you will come to; just go to registration on race day and we'll use a credit when you get your race packet.

If you wait until Friday or Saturday, it increases to the late registration price, and your registration is only good for that specific race. Please note that you MUST register online before your first race of the season (even if you want to pay by cash or check). We will have computers available on-site, but we highly recommend you fill out your information online in advance and save yourself the hassle of squinting at a little computer screen in the bright sunlight!

If you lose your bib number and/or RFID chip, it is a $5 replacement fee (plus an additional $20 chip deposit). Race credits expire at the end of the season, and are not transferable to another racer. No refunds.

Adult Prices

Late registration is $40*.
Race another class on the same day for $10.

Save over 20% by registering online! Decide how many races you can come to, then register for that number of race credits. You do not need to tell us in advance which race(s) you plan on coming to.
