American UltraCross Championship Series

SOUTHERN CROSS IS

The first endurance cross race in the Southeast. You can use cyclocross bikes or mountain bikes though the course will favor cross bikes. The course will be mainly gravel roads with some spectator-friendly cyclocross goodies thrown in to distinguish it from a mountain bike or road race. SX2012 is also the last race of the 2011-2012 American UltraCross Championship Series AND the first race of the 2012-2013 series. That means all racers points go towards BOTH seasons series points.

Foundry Cycles

Foundry Cycles will be onsite with bike demos this year. They are coming South from the frozen tundra of MN to bring their awesome bikes for you to check out. They are also giving away an Auger CX disc frameset at the post-race party! While you are checking out their website go ahead and "Like" their facebook page while you are at it.

Mercury Cycling

Mercury Cycling is also giving away a set of the S1 Tubular wheels at the post-race party! Again, head over to the Mercury Bikes facebook page, LIKE them, and give 'em a THANKS for supporting endurance CX racing in the US.

PRIZES & POST-RACE PARTY

All awards and raffles will be done at the 5pm post-race party that will take place upstairs inside the winery. Montaluce Winery will be giving away one complimentary drink ticket per racer and raffling off two dinners for two at the fabulous Le Vigne restaurant at the winery. ALSO, Foundry Cycles will be giving away an Auger CX disc frameset and Mercury Cycling will be giving away a set of S1 Tubular CX wheels. We are still adding sponsors and sweetening the prize pot so stay tuned for more announcements! All registered racers will are eligible to win prizes but you must be present at the party.
