Total cash purse for the weekend is $6000 with $2000 allocated to the road race and a whopping $4000 in prize money to be awarded at the State Championship Criterium. In addition, several nice primes are on the table for the criterium. Finally, Rightway Performance Coaching will be awarding a free power test to the winners of the Men’s Cat 4, Men’s Cat 5, Women’s Cat 4, and the Junior classes each day.
The Norfolk Classic Cycling Weekend is in its third year and grows each year. This year the
 Cody McCoullough and Kevin Burke race for the finish at the 2007 Classic Sunday the venue changes to the popular Downtown Norfolk Criterium Course. Back again for 2008, the  2008 ROY contenders Justin Maresh and John Spray at the 2007 Classic Crit Medals and prizes for each day of racing will be presented with no overall weekend awards. Award ceremonies for the road race will be held immediately following the finish of the day’s racing while the Sunday criterium awards will be presented throughout the day. Cash payouts will be made to no more than 50% of the field. State Championship medals will be awarded at the State Championship Criterium on Sunday to eligible participants. To be eligible, a rider must be an annual USA Cycling road racing license holder and a Nebraska resident. Annual licenses must be purchased prior to race-day to be eligible. The Norfolk Cycling Weekend gives Nebraska riders two opportunities for Nebraska Rider of the Year points. Both days of racing are USAC permitted and sanctioned by the Nebraska Cycling Association . The Norfolk Classic Cycling Weekend is promoted by the Elkhorn Valley Cycling Club and sponsored by Monster Energy and the Norfolk/Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau. |

Featured Stories
Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.
2008 E’tape Du Tour
This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!

"The Race Across The Sky" Leadville Trail 100
"Your from Nebraska?" the gal at medical check in asked. "Yes" Steve replied. "So you’re taking the high altitude medication Diamox then?" she asked. "No" Steve replied, having never heard of it. "Oh Boy!" she said with a tone of amazement and worry. "Good Luck!"
