Lincoln, NE – The 2008 Nebraska Cyclo-cross season will come to an exciting conclusion, November 22-23 at Pioneers Park in Lincoln. The Lincoln CX Weekend presented by Monkey Wrench Cycles and Highgear Bicyce Store of Omaha features a $2000 cash prize list for the weekend as well as the Nebraska USAC Cyclo-cross State Championship, Sunday, November 23. The two day race weekend will be hosted by the local team, Midwest Wheelmasters.

"We always look forward to this weekend and the opportunity to showcase Nebraska cyclo-cross at it's best," says team manager, Troy Krause.

Krause and the Midwest Wheelmasters have already started work on the course at Pioneers, which features some of the fastest and most challenging cyclo-cross elements anywhere including the infamous "Hooligan Hill." The latter section of the course has become quite the attraction with hundreds of local and regional race fans converging to take in the top-level competition.

The races will be held rain, snow or shine. Registration for both days of racing will be held on-site at Pioneers Park.
