Norfolk - Registrations are open for both days of the Norfolk Classic Cycling Weekend at SportsBaseOnline. Registration must be made for BOTH days as this is NOT a stage race nor an omnium. Registration for the Norfolk Classic Road Race powered by Monster is here. Registration for the Nebraska State Championship Criterium is here. 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 Saturday road race will again be held on the (in)famous Stanton Road Race course. Race headquarters will be at the Stanton Fairgrounds, same as 2007. This year full rest room and shower facilities will be available on site. Riders will roll to the line for a 10AM start with waves of riders starting every few minutes. 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 course features left and right hand turns, awesome spectator spots, two-way racing in front of the announcer stand, and a long finish line stretch tailor-made for exciting primes and photo-finishes. Several area restaurants and watering holes will be open during the day featuring front row seating for the action. Neutral support during the criterium will be provided by Cleveland Bike and Sport. 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.
