Draft Roster for Saturday March 28th's Race

Hi Racers! Looks like mother nature is finally willing to cooperate with us and let us race.  We've attached the race roster to this post below.  Please let us know if you see anything that looks incorrect.  You can email membership issues to Randy <membership AT crca DOT net> or team issues to Alexis <teams AT crca DOT net>.

Racers in yellow are ineligible to race due to suspension or needing to complete a clinic.  Season pass holders in purple still need to submit a waiver.  Waivers can be submitted on race morning.  Numbers can also be picked up at that time.

CRCA Roster Draft March 28

See you bright and early!

Specialized Women's Sponsorship

 

As part of their longstanding support of women's racing Specialized is partnering with Century Road Club Association (CRCA) to sponsor the CRCA Women's Race Clinics and the Women's Development Series p/b Hatchmap. The partnership is built around the goal of encouraging participation in the sport via CRCA's expansive women's racing program - with each participant in the clinics and development series receiving an entry to win an Amira frameset.

The Amira is Specialized's Women's Performance Race bike - raced by some of the highest achieving women in the sport including former CRCA member Evelyn Stevens - and we hope that this innovative partnership helps to grow women's racing!

Every racer who registers for the CRCA Women's Development Series Races and women who participate in the Clinics (April 25th Clinic and June 21st Clinic) will receive an entry as part of the competition. Each time you register counts as one entry, so the more races and clinics you participate in, the more chances to win! For those women that finish on the podium of the development series races, the top three places for each race will receive extra entries in the amount of 3-2-1.

At the conclusion of the series we will draw one racer at random to receive an Amira framset (size of the winner's choosing).

Dedacciai Strada: Grant's Tomb Title Sponsor

We are thrilled to announce that experienced Italian frame makers, Dedacciai Strada, has partnered with CRCA to sponsor for this year's Grant's Tomb Crit and Orchard Beach. Dedacciai's (loosely pronounced as "dead-uh-CHAI") heritage includes bicycles that have been ridden to glory in the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia. Read more about the Company's history and factory here. They are a sister company of popular components manufacturer, Deda Elementi.

Dedacciai has donated two frames (valued at $2200 each), one of which will be awarded to the winner of the Men's Elite field at Grant's Tomb Crit and the other to be awarded to the Women's Elite filed at Orchard Beach Crit.

Dedacciai is also offering all CRCA members 10% off any frame purchased on http://www.dedastrada.cc. Simply use the coupon code, "CRCA2015" at checkout. In addition, 5% of all proceeds from sales to CRCA members will be donated to the CRCA Junior Development Team!

It's through the commitment and support of great sponsors like Dedacciai Strada, that we can continue to put on high quality races here in the NYC region. Thank you for your generous support!
