How It All Started

Historically, the West Coast has had few opportunities for cyclocross racers to earn points through the USA Cycling ranking system. While our company has organized and promoted the Sacramento Cyclocross series as a grassroots series for the past five years, we hear frustrations of some of our racers – especially given that USA Cycling National Championships were recently held on the West Coast in Tacoma in December 2019.

After looking at exactly how USAC ranking points are calculated, we decided to develop a new series – the West Coast Cyclocross Points Prestige – to:

Give amateur, West Coast-based cyclocross racers the best shot possible to get USAC ranking points Give select West Coast-based professional cyclocross racers a crowd-sourced monetary kick-start to their season

To accomplish this, we have combed through the USA Cycling Results and Rankings FAQ page, and optimized every part of our series based on their calculations. The series features five races in one weekend, larger fields of athletes per race, and invited West Coast-based pro cyclocross racers.
