With just over six weeks to go until the Cincinnati UCI3 cyclocross weekend, pre-registration numbers are holding steady at 100% improvement over 2009. The biggest hikes are with the women’s 3/4 categories, which are up over 200%. Are the women’s fields going to trend higher all fall cx season? We’re excited to find out.
On a related matter, the Katie Compton women’s cyclocross clinic scheduled for October 8th is now open for registration. Last year’s clinic sold out the 40 spots, so get your reservation in early.

There’s no one in the world more qualified to teach a women’s cyclocross clinic than Katie Compton. www.katiecompton.com Multiple World Cup winner, multiple U.S. National Champion, experienced coach, and quite possibly the best technical bike handler in women’s off-road cycling. She’ll be joined by husband Mark, an experienced mechanic and cx racer and writer for Cyclocross Magazine. This clinic is geared towards beginners, but the expert women that took her clinic last year said that they learned a lot themselves. Limit 40 participants, and all proceeds benefit 3 local dog rescues. Register here.
