Cody Kaiser finished 4th in the A’s race, and teammate Jeremy Ferguson finished 7th in the A’s race.  Devin Avery finished 19th in the Master 35 A race.

Good job to all, and we look forward to seeing your new districts title holder race kits!

Start times are altered for this race. Download the flyer .

Discovery Park is a new location this year in the Sacramento Series lineup, and it will be a fast course. If you are a native, then chances are you have passed by this location many times and wished for a cross race at this location.

If you are coming from out of town, there are a few hotels, on Richards Blvd/Jiboom Street, that are within 1.5km of the start finish line. At a glance, La Quinta looks to be the best choice, but there are other choices as well.

Rio Strada is hosting this race, and they have been working hard to provide a complete day for racers and spectators. Williams Wheels, The Hub Bicycle Shop, and Mad Cat bikes will all be on hand to provide neutral race support throughout the day. Honest Tea Beverages will be providing organic beverages during the event, in addition to on-site food vendors.  Several “Team Warm-up Tents” will available on a first come first served basis, (provided by Rio Strada Racing) and located adjacent to the course.  Marmot will be providing special prizes through out the day for top finishers. Race day music and all race announcements will be broad-casted on Killer JBL Professional Sound System.  For more information about this race and Rio Strada Racing please visit www.riostradaracing.org
