PRESS RELEASE: CROSS, COWBELLS AND CHAMOIS BUTT’R

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 17, 2009

The DeStad Van Kansas CX Series presented by Paceline Products looks
forward to the Smithville CX Festival on Oct. 25. The festival is host
to Round #3 at Sailboat Cove, Smithville Lake, MO just 25 minutes
north of Kansas City.

Promoters Heather Jordan and Chris Locke said, we are excited about
the success of the 2009 race series. With growing attendance at each
event, Kansas City is fast becoming the hotbed for cyclocross. As the
numbers rise, the series attracts more sponsors to grow higher payouts
and more prizes. This weekend will be no different.

A well balanced course has been designed by the Cross Guru for the
Smithville CX Festival. The course features 158 feet of climbing per
1.5 mile lap with plenty of pavement, flowing turns, a few off camber
turns, a natural steep run up (one the Guru is famous for) and the
Paceline Freeway along the shores of Smithville Lake.

The Wheel Cyclery, Cow Town Cycling Team, Clay County Parks, KCA,
Tifosi, FRS, Hammer Nutrition, Raw Revolution, Sugoi Performance
Apparel, 53 x 11 Coffee, Lantern Rouge Volunteer Group, Thoroughly
Kneaded Muscle Therapy, Chamois Butt’r, bring the event more than
$5,000 in prizes.

Prizes are plentiful; and the food abundant. Sunday will feature a
Chilli Extravaganza. Don’t forget…coffee by the gallon and lots of
sweets!

Racing at Sailboat Cove begins Saturday at 10:00 a.m. with the
Category 4 men going off first. Ladies don’t forget that KCA is
sponsoring the Category 4 women with supplementing your entry. Which
means you race for only $10. Races continue throughout the day with
the Category Men 1/2/3 racing at 1:00 p.m. and the finale at 2:00 with
the Men’s Cat 3/4. This is a great venue for spectating.

Get your cross bikes ready to roll, there are categories for Men and
Women from Pro to beginner and everything in between. Visit
