Call-ups

For the first Crusade race, we will first call up the top five finishers from each category from the 2010 Cross Crusade. Next, points will be tabulated from Pain on the Peak, Double Cross (both days), and Battle at Barlow (see here). We will call up the top three in each category from that series of races. Finally, we will call up any rider who got a mandatory upgrade in those first races also. After that, all other riders will be called up via the patented Cross Crusade random number call-up. Beginners will get only random call-ups at the first race.

Registration

You can register for the series online or register for the October 2 race online before 9pm on September 30.

Racers may also preregister by sending a completed OBRA waiver (PDF) and check payable to "Club Vivo" to:

MUST be received no later than Thursday before the event. If it is not received by Thursday, you will have to pay at the event and will be refunded at the next event.

If you pre-register and you already have your Cross Crusade number, you can sign in a "self-service" line. If you need a number, there will be a separate line for pre-registered riders to pick-up numbers.

If you prefer to wait, day-of-event registration will be available at each race venue. Save time by printing out a waiver (PDF) and completing it at home.

Special Alpenrose-only Registration notes!

1. If you registered online or mailed in a registration AND have a Cross number from David Douglas, Pain on the Peak, Hood River, Barlow, or Canby then you can go directly to the start of your race without checking in at registration. For the rest of the Crusade races we ask you to sign in but at Alpenrose you don't need to.
2. If you registered online or mailed in a registration BUT don't have a Cross number yet, you can pick up a number on race day or you can show up at Alpenrose on Saturday from 12:00 noon to 3:00 to pick up a number or register.
3. If you did NOT register online or by mail but have a number make sure to bring it with you. If you forget or lose your number it will cost you $5 to get a new one. You will not be charged for a new number if you upgrade to a new category or are upgraded by OBRA.
4. Bring your OBRA license or a receipt for the purchase of a license. If you do not have one of these two documents you will have to buy a one day membership for $5.
5. If you are changing categories or are upgraded you must pick up a new number so that you are scored correctly.
6. You only have to fill out a waiver once for the Cross Crusade. That one waiver covers all the Cross Crusade events for 2011.
