Cyclocross Schedule Change

The Lees McRae CX race scheduled for Dec 10/11 (Conference Finals) has been moved to Sunday-only on Dec 4th. As a result, the UF Sunday event will be designated also as Conference Finals, since it is on the same day. Total SECCC Cyclocross events include 6 events over 5 dates: Florida State (2), King College (2), Mars Hill (1) or Florida (1) plus 2 conference finals events over 1 date: Lees McRae (1) or Florida (1). Basically, since the CX season is in its infancy, we have double-booked races over the Dec 3/4 weekend to give as many opportunities as possible to race SECCC CX. Equal points will be given to each race that overlaps.

The Southeastern Collegiate Cycling Conference was established to support collegiate cycling in the Southeast United States. The conference is made up of schools from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a few schools in North Carolina. The SECCC is one of 11 conferences in the United States that make up the National Collegiate Cycling Association (NCCA). The NCCA administers, develops, promotes, and governs collegiate cycling across the country. The NCCA is a standing committee of USA Cycling.

Eash school can become an NCCA club or team, regardless of size, and regardless of whether the school intends to compete in collegiate events or not. Today, there are over 200 registered collegiate cycling clubs that are registered with the NCCA, representing over 2,500 athletes.
