Thank you to all of the riders who participated in the June 13th Carmichael Training Systems Sand Creek International Classic. A very special thank you goes to the US Cup staff and their sponsors.
With more than twice as many riders as expected, staff still did an incredible job. Due to several circumstances completely out of our control, some issues arose that have already been addressed. These include, but are not limited to, stage, PA registration/results, Pro call-ups, one venue, etc. Please be aware that nothing went unnoticed. Thank you and we hope to see you next year.

Carmichael Training Systems Sand Creek Series
Overall Results are below. Please note the following:
Check your results carefully, please.
I have results for July 1st and will begin working on them this afternoon (July 2) and will post them here asap.
1. The Junior Men Category 3 15-18's have been split into 15-18 and Under 15
based on finish place/lap times. We will now have an Under 15 Class,
2. Pro Men/Category 1 Men 19-29 is one class. One Pro Man somehow was
entered on the May 10th Category 1 40-49 start sheet. That rider's finish time was
used to correctly place him in the Pro/Category 1 Men 19-29 Overall results.
3. May 10th results: A number of Pro Women entered/appeared on the start sheet for
Category 1 Women 30-39...probably based on their age. Pro/Category 1 Women 19-
29 is one class and all Pro Women should be here. A review of entry forms, start
sheets, laps completed and results from both start sheets was used to place all Pro
Women in Overall Results for Pro/Category 1 19-29 Women. Category 1 30-39
Women are also now properly placed in Overall. No May 10th race results will be
changed, however.
Overall Results (AND RESULTS FOR WEDNESDAY RACES) after June 24th are below. Please note the following: 1. Only Colorado Springs and Series riders were used for the June 13th race results; 2. For June 13th, Pro and Category 1 (Men and Women) have been combined. I expect many of these riders to drop off the results; 3. A number of Series classes/categories did not have any updates since May 10th; 4. Those riders who entered June 3rd but DNS on June 4th (rain date) will be entered on June 24th start sheets; 5. Please review carefully and contact me with any corrections or questions, etc....so many numbers, etc. 6.

On Tour with Sand Creek Sports
Tour of Oaxaca
Special note: With the Peso at 13.7 to $1.00 USD and a R/T ticket on Mexicana Airlines from Denver to Oaxaca, Mexico at around $550 including taxes, a trip to Oaxaca has never been more affordable!
With single track no wider than a water bottle, this is something all of our Sand Creek Series and Sand Creek Fall Classic riders would really enjoy. Tours vary and our guide and his staff are very accommodating. Pedro Martinez, our guide, is a former Mexican National Champion! Remember, the cerveza is always cold, the beach warm, world class surfing, and they have something we don't have here...real Mexican food! Please visit our "Tour of Oaxaca" section on the left. Contact us if interested. And, they're bike races to be raced in Oaxaca! Go to the "Gallery" section also on the left.

Sand Creek Sports, Inc. and Bicicletas Pedro Martinez are now able to offer Mexican bicycle tours for
both road and mountain bike trips in Mexico. These Mexican bicycle tours are in the Southern Mexican State of Oaxaca and are guided by Mexican Cycling Champion Pedro Martinez and his experienced staff.
Pedro now has a 36 passenger bus for bicycle road tours in Oaxaca. This is in addition to his long established Oaxaca mountain bike tours using his 4-wheel drive Jeeps.
Go to our Tour of Oaxaca section for information about mountain bike tours in Mexico. Contact Us with any questions.
Pikes Peak Region Tours
The mountain and road cycling in the Pikes Peak Region in the Colorado Springs and the Manitou Springs
areas, in the shadow of "America's Mountain" are some of the finest anywhere.
In addition to helping people go to Oaxaca, Mexico (the last group left at the end of October, 2008), Sand Creek Sports, Inc. has been arranging local tours for out of State groups. Tours in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado Springs, either on the road or in the mountains, are all "custom built." Bike rentals, tour guides, meals, and even lodging can be arranged through our extensive local cycling contacts and resources.
Here is what a group from Texas just had to say about their August 2008 Colorado Springs retreat and road bike ride at the US Air Force Academy: "I wanted to get back with you on the bike tour. The group had a fabulous time. In fact, several of them said it was the best event ever for our firm retreat--which is a very high compliment considering all the places this group has been on retreat. Obviously, it would not have happened without your help. If you are ever in Dallas, let me know and I'll try to plan something just as wonderful Texas style."

Tour of Colorado updates are available on our Tour of Colorado page.
