SeasonXtender--Benefit for Lila Hate to see
the racing season end? Want to hold on to your fitness a little
longer, or keep sharp for cyclocross? Come race on the fast, flat
course at Skylands Park and help us raise money for Lila, a two
year old recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Her dad, a bike
racer, is self employed and doesn't have adequate insurance, so
we are trying to help out. All entry fees will go directly for
Lila's care, after deduction of USCF and NJBA surcharges. No
prize money, but valuable merchandise for the top three in each
event.

Augusta Cyclocross Series The
Augusta Cyclocross Series is entering it's fifth year. Held in
November at the spacious and scenic Sussex County Fairgrounds in
the northwestern corner of New Jersey, this is basically
cyclocross for the locals, although racers from New York,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut compete every week. The course is
about 1.5 miles, with a couple of power hills, a screaming
descent, artificial barriers and a run up. The surface is mostly
grass, with some gravel and short sections of asphalt. Part of
the course winds in and out of a few of the Fairgrounds' horse
barns, a nice respite when it's raining. Prize money is based on
turnout, but there's usually a couple of hundred dollars for the
Men's A and Women's top three. The entry fee is $15-$25. This
years race dates are November 5, 11, 19 and 26. November 26 is
the NJ Jersey State Championship, but the race is open to
out-of-staters. More information at www.skylandscycling.com.

When: November 5, 11, 19 and 26, 2006
