Pennsylvania state championships to include team relay

Top-flight cyclo-cross returns to south-central Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 25 with the running of the 2006 Sutliff Hummer Pennsylvania state cyclo-cross championships at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle. Organized by Yellow Breeches Racing, the event will crown state champions in a dozen categories racing in five individual events. Also on tap is the 'Lil’ Belgians' kids race and the second running of the non-championship cyclo-cross relay.

The featured event will be the non-championship team relay race that follows the individual championship races. A unique race, the cyclo-cross relay race debuted at last year’s championships and was such a huge hit that there was no doubt that it would be reprised for this year’s event. A slightly shorter race than last year, the eight-lap race will be contested by four-person teams comprised of an Elite Man, B-Man and Master teamed with either a Woman or Junior racer.
