Women racers from Juniors up to Elites will be racing for the same
prize list as the men at Jonathan Page's Planet Bike Cup."Women train
as hard, spend as much money traveling to races, and race just as hard
as the men," says Renee Callaway, race director. "There's no reason why
they shouldn't
race for the same prize payout."
Jonathan Page's Planet Bike Cup is part of the Wisconsin Cycling
Association (WCA) cyclocross series. The WCA series also offers equal
prize payouts for male and female racers. This has helped develop a
strong contingent of female racers including Team Planet Bike's
National Champions Diane Ostenso (50-54) and Anna Young (17-18).
Jonathan Page's Planet Bike Cup will be held September 27 and 28 in
Sun Prairie, WI just outside Madison. More information is available
online at www.madcross.org and registration is currently open on BikeReg.com.
Jonathan Page's Planet Bike Cup is hosted by the Capitol Velo Club,
a women's road cycling club based in Madison, WI. Sponsors for the race
weekend include Planet Bike, Williamson Bicycle & Fitness, Sheila
Moon, Twin Six, Harlot Wear, Cyclocross Magazine, Becker Law Office,
and Lawton
& Cates, SC.
