Twin Cities auto dealership announces sponsorship of Cyclocross Series

Thane Hawkins Burnsville Subaru announced today it has secured the title sponsorship of the Minnesota Cycling Federation (MCF) 2005 Cyclocross Rider of the Year (CRY) Series. The announcement coincides with Burnsville Subaru's opening on September 2, 2005. The new Subaru dealership is located near the Burnsville Center at 14900 Buck Hill Road in Burnsville.

"Cyclocross is really coming into its own, and gaining a title sponsor will certainly add to the visibility of the sport here in Minnesota," said Mike Lyner, President of the Minnesota Cycling Federation. "The MCF has a strong commitment to the CRY series. We're pleased to have found a partner like Burnsville Subaru. It's a great fit for our event."

Jay: I am a hack road/mt bike rider here in MN. I am increasing my road riding next yr after I get road bike. I have seen info on cyclocross, but have been unable to locate much info on it-Other then the seminar offered on 11 Sept by Hollywood bikes in Bloomington.

Do you know of any citizen races where 44 yr old oafs can ride? Any help would be appreciated!

Thx

Interesting - automobile companies sponsoring bike events - think about it.

So, what will this do for the average cyclocross participant? Will fees be lower, will courses be different?
