Getting Our Feet Ahead of Us
Slowly but surely, we’re finding better venues, making better races, and keeping our loyal participants stoked they chose bikes. The Santa Rosa Cup CX race series will expand next year to include even more racing action than in 2011. If you’re happy with the way we run our ship, then tell your friends to join you. There’s no better compliment we get than when you all spread the Bike Monkey word. If you’ve got a great idea to send our way, shoot us a bit of feedback over at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you.
Take the Cup!
It’s a lovely trophy, suitable for holding flowers, pencils, or just cradling in your own hands as you drift off to sleep tonight. Go on and win it–make your holidays bright.
Saturday November 26th
Place to Play Park
BUILT WITH TRACTORS. Don’t need to say much more than that. This course is something that came down to making the right phone call at the right time. With that we got the nod from the City of Santa Rosa’s Parks and Recreation department to bring out some toys and build a (semi-permanent) cyclocross course in an undeveloped part of Place to Play Park in our little home town. We’re pretty stoked about this. The course has been getting burned in over the last few weeks and this Saturday it’s prime-time. Come get some.
Sunday December 18th
Spring Lake Regional Park
From the moment we started producing cyclocross races in Santa Rosa, Spring Lake Regional Park was on our radar as a potential future race venue. That seemingly far-fetched idea has become a reality, and on December 18th (a Sunday), you’re going to get to compete on what is probably the greatest cross terrain we’ve been able to imagine within the city limits signs.

Open Pro categories are guaranteed a minimum of a $500 purse for each men and women at each race. In addition to this, a 10% contribution is made from the total number of racers after 10 competitors.
Open Pro purse is distributed 5-deep.

If you are planning on racing a second race on any given event day, your entry is an additional $15 if you’re an adult, and an additional $10 if you’re under 18 racing in a Junior category. You won’t actually process that fee here, and you’ll need to indicate to us on race-day that you want to race again. You’ll pay that fee in person at the event.
The registration form below starts out with two options: Option 1 is to choose your category and number of events (we have two dates to choose from, or both). If you wish to race a different category at each event, you’ll need to fill this form out twice. Confusing enough? Good. Sorry, we haven’t updated our internal registration software quite yet. But bare with us, once you’re through this, the hardest thing facing you are your opponents on race day.
Adults are $30/date ($15 second race, same date — payable at event in person)
Juniors are $15/date ($10 second race, same date — payable at event in person)
