CrossVegas: Industry Race and Free Shuttles
By Rich Kelly, Filed Under Attendee News, Cycling, Exhibitor News, Industry News, Interbike, Racing
Today we announced that we will be providing free shuttle service to CrossVegas this year for show attendees, exhibitors and press. Being over 6 miles off the Strip and with the huge interest in the race, we figured it was time to step up with some transportation for Interbike show goers. Shuttles will run from 6pm to 11pm – check our main website for details leading up to the show.
Also – and I know that the CrossVegas guys already announced it – I’m really excited about the new “Wheelers and Dealers” industry race this year. While I’m no cross racer myself, I can’t wait to see all my fellow industry working stiffs out on the Desert Breeze course like at the crit last year. I’ve heard that there’s some super-motivated guys out there all primed and ready to throw down at this race.
Not to be outdone, the USA Crits Finals return to Las Vegas this year. They’ve still got the Industry Cup race along with the pro races and have added a bunch of amateur USCF races to the schedule this year. Not sure if Ravi and his team will be letting in any ex-pros this year like Cipollini last year, but I’ve already heard a big name mentioned as interested in racing. I’ve got that former pro already scheduled for an interview during our “Good Morning Interbike” show from the Media Center this year – it just remains to be seen if he’ll be racing…
By the way, do you think ex-pros should be able to race the industry cup like Cipo did last year? How connected do they need to be to be an “employee”? The crit guys have their own set of official rules posted, but I still think that its’ a cool thing to have at the race – a once in a lifetime chance to race with a big name ex-pro. But that would mean that I’d actually have to race…

Having Cipo in that race last year added a lot of fun to it. Of course I didn’t race, I just watched from the sidelines
