May 27th Results

Wednesday's rain narrowly avoided this week's short track, though there were some mud puddles. Many racers came out, some enjoying the mud but most hoping to avoid it as much as possible. To add some fun we decided to have mud primes: whichever rider made the biggest splash/mess in the puddle right before the finish line would win, based on the audience's cheering. Many riders got their feet wet, legs covered, and spray in the face. One racer actually wheelied through the mud. Full Cycle was again on hand, demoing bikes and grilling Dogs and Brats. You can find Wednesday's results here. We will have full standings up soon, though I'm sure you can figure it out by looking at last week's results too. Thanks to everyone who came out, and we'll see you next Wednesday.

Race Results for May 20

The first day of the short track series saw a huge turnout! Thanks to everyone who helped set up and clean up the course, a big thanks to our master grillers at the start/finish, our sponsors for providing prizes and helping out with equipment, and to everyone who showed up to race! We have results for the first race posted here. Have a good Memorial Day Weekend and we'll see you all again on Wednesday the 27th.

CU Cycling Fundraiser

Hello to all you short track fans that are still checking the page! We hope the collegiate MTB season went well for those of you still in school. For those of you who aren't in school, we are hoping you are enjoying the wonderful fall weather and the cyclo-cross season!

We do have a fundraiser for CU Cycling coming up at the beginning of November which we would like to personally invite all of you to. Hudz and Miles Ahead Events are bringing the ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIKE SHOW to CU November 1 and 2. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. they will be showcasing some of the best frame builders around the country as well as bringing the newest components and accessories from Interbike in Vegas.

The admission to the event is only $5 and it is definitely family friendly. But the really cool part... A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO CU CYCLING!!



So after the cross races (the Boulder Cup and the Redline Cup), raking the lawn, or even after your training ride, make sure to stop by the Glenn Miller Ballroom in the University Memorial Center (UMC) and check out the Rocky Mountain Bike Show!



Pass the word along to all your friends and we hope to see you there!

August 6th Results

Sorry for the delay. There are also no individual results for women's A and men's A at this time. In order to calculate final series standings faster, only point totals were counted and not all of the places were sorted out. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks again for all of your support!

Final Short Track

Thank you to everyone who came out not only this past Wednesday but every Wednesday throughout the summer. The Short Track Crew thanks you a million times over for making this summer short track series possible!! Thank you also for supporting CU Cycling, we cannot begin to describe how much of an impact you all have made on the team.

Thank you also to all of our sponsors who gave us prizes to pass out every week. It was wonderful to have people from the Boulder community take part in Wednesday Night Worlds.

Please, continue to check CUSHORTTRACK.COM throughout the year as we give updates about next summer and other events that we will be hosting. Look forward to a possible Cyclocross race in the fall....

Thank you so much again, we greatly appreciate it! Until next time....

OVERALL SERIES STANDINGS

The series leaders in each category have been racing great all season. But don't forget that only THE TOP 7 RESULTS of each rider will be counted for the overall series winner. That means that riders that have only competed in 6 events so far can earn up to 200 points next week with a win whereas racers that have already raced 7 races can only improve their points with the difference between their lowest points earned so far in the race. This should make for some really interesting competitive racing next week! Be sure to come out and watch as a few of the categories will only be separated by a couple of points. Its sure to be a "Wednesday Night Worlds" event! We also have some great series prizes to give out next week!
