Centennial High School Cyclocross Crusade

THANK YOU!

romewintercross — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:00:10 +0000

The 2011 Centennial Cyclocross Crusade was a huge success! We had over 225 racers compete in 7 races under cool and beautiful Roswell skies. We earned over $2,000 for teachers. My army of volunteers was second to none. I was really quite speechless about the level of support and effort from our adult and teen volunteers.

Most of the feedback I received after the race was positive and there were some modification suggestions if we do it again next year. I already have approval to hold the race on campus next year so stay tuned!

Results from the race can be found at www.georgia-cross.com

Thank you to the following sponsors for making the event possible:

Centennial High School

Van Michael Salon

Alpha Bikes

HUP United

Mix 1

Mad Alchemy Embrocation

Moe’s Southwestern Grill

Einstein’s

Until next year, don’t forget to check out the remaining races in the series. Someone asked me if the atmosphere was the same each week? Yes it is!

So Excited…

I hope you are too!

Course has been revised a little bit to make it a tad longer. Works out to be about 3km. I took out a second run up for a flat barrier section. I hope you brought your road legs, this is going to be a fast course. Take it easy through the grass-road transitions. I have about 4 ramp areas and they are all 9 feet wide. Don’t fall into the pond. I am calling the off-camber series of 180s on the hill, “gans stront” hill. Translate it and figure it out. Students will understand.

Remember to turn your clocks back on Saturday night!

Moe’s Totally Rocks

Women Take Notice–Van Michael Prizes Just For You!

romewintercross — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:27:54 +0000

The Centennial Cyclocross Crusade will feature some prizes specifically for our female racers. In addition to the normal women’s CX 1/2/3 payout we will have Van Michael Salon gift certificates for the top 3: $100 (1st), $50 (2nd) and $25 (3rd). We also have the women’s CX 4 covered and will be offering gift certificates 3 deep as well: $70 (1st), $50 (2nd) and $25 (3rd).

If that was not enough, we have first lap premes for both races in the amount of $60 each. Be the first woman across the finish on the first lap and walk away with style.

Be sure you focus on this as you trudge up the Van Michael “Bad Hair Day” run-up.

Good Luck!

Welcome MIX 1 to the CHS Cyclocross Crusade

romewintercross — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:39:24 +0000

Mix 1 out of Boulder, Colorado is a huge sponsor of cycling in Georgia and we are happy to have them on board as a product sponsor for the race. Mix 1 is a pre/post performance protein shake or snack/meal supplement made of all natural ingredients and soy/gluten/lactose free. Mix 1 contains antioxidents equivalent to 3 servings of fruits/vegies and is a good source of healthy fat.

Mix 1 will “mix it up” in the barrier section of the course, they will provide samples at the race, provide race winners with free product and provide free samples for Centennial faculty to try.

Sponsorship Opportunities

romewintercross — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:58:32 +0000

The Centennial High Cyclocross Crusade is looking for 1-2 more sponsors for the race. As you can see in the photo below, I have a few advertising spots open on the podium background (where top 3 will stand to accept awards). Sponsors may also be promoted through social media, this website and at the race. A great opportunity for local Roswell and Georgia sponsors to get exposure to around 1900 families at CHS and so many more via social media all while helping teachers who in turn will help students. There are a few different levels of sponsorship available starting at $250. Please email me at kuhn@fultonschools.org if interested. Deadline October 31.
