2014 Baker Orchard CX with New Sponsors

The 2014 edition of the Baker Orchard Cyclocross Race is back for it's 6th year in succession. After 5 great years with sponsor MBRC/Flanders, this year's event will be sponsored by Donkey Label and Scratch Labs. Coldwell Banker Burnet Realtor Tom Nielsen continues to provide the $1000 cash prize list, while Donkey Label will provide it's unique wears as merchandise prizes for the non-cash fields, along with providing the volunteer support which makes the event such a success.

All the great course features are back by popular demand:
  • Racing through the 100 year old Orchard Barn
  • Log Stair Run-up
  • Sandpit
  • Double Track Sections through the woods
  • Racing through the apple trees
In addition, we are keeping the new and improved starting stretch through the orchard, allowing the riders to establish position better prior to the first pinch point. We will also be using the finish line from last year, to eliminate the turn just prior to the line.

Like past years, there will be music and an race announcer to keep spectators up to date on each race as it happens.

Chip Timing will is back again this year, to provide timely and accurate race results.

As in years past, on top of the $1000 cash plus merchandise, our popular custom medals will be awarded to the top 3 in each race category, and each field winner receives a peck of apples!

The Orchard Stand will be open for business and free hot dogs will be provided to all race participants.

Bring your friends and family to what will certainly be a spectacular event!
