Dear NCCX Community,

Thank you for your patience in series updates during the devastation and disruption of Hurricane Helene. 

My family and friends in the region are safe and managing the current situation with limited resources and connectivity. 

There’s been limited information about the upcoming season due to loss of power and internet over the past 10 days. Utilities are slowly being restored, as of 1pm today (Sunday, Oct 6, 2024), power has been restored in my neighborhood!

The first weekend of racing will go ahead as scheduled, with the series kick off on Saturday, Oct 12 in Gibsonville, and Sunday, Oct 13 in Raleigh at Lion’s Park. 

Due to current circumstances and out of respect for the community and their disaster response, we are planning to move the race initially scheduled to take place in Boone on Sunday, Oct 20,  to a different venue. Additional details will be shared as they are finalized. We look forward to returning to a resilient Boone in 2025! 

There have been many questions about how to help. At this point, monetary donations are the largest need for the region. Consider supporting the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina as they will be a vital funding source for rebuilding our community. Donate here!

Now more than ever, we are looking forward to seeing you and coming together to race cyclo-cross, starting the next season this weekend, and celebrating the strength of our cycling community. 

Best wishes, 

Tim
