USA Cycling has released the schedule for the 2010 Cyclocross National Championships in Bend, OR, beginning Wednesday, December 8th, and running through Sunday, December 12th. The biggest news this year is, of course, the inclusion of the time trials, which will determine start order in the non-Elite races for those not receiving call-ups. Time trials will begin at 9am on the day preceding the competition, i.e., since Masters Men 60-64 compete on Dec. 9th, their time trial will happen on Dec. 8th. Start order for the time trial is arranged by category, with those racing earliest the following day going first. For an in-depth review of the changes to this year’s Nationals program, such as Cat. 4s not being able to race below the 55 year-old age group, check our our full article in Issue 10.

Registration is just a few days away. Registration will open on October 12th and will be on USAC’s own website and new registration system. With the new time trial system, the late-night, frantic “race to registration,” complete with crashing servers, should be over.

The schedule for Nationals, by day, is as follows:
