Cyclocross Information Released

We are only a few weeks away from the 2016 USA Cycling National Cyclocross Championships, held at the beautiful Biltmore Estate in Asheville!  As athletes prepare for their big races, and spectators with their best cheering, not to mention our volunteers for their hard work, there is much to communicate.  We've decided to pass along some of the important information to all who are coming to participate in these historic days.  

We have worked the Biltmore and USA Cycling to build a comprehensive suite of documents, including a course map, tech guide, visitor guide, and information about expo and team parking.

Hopefully you can find what you're looking for in the links below--if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (micah@ashevillesports.org)
