How does one find out about cyclocross races?
A 10 minute internet search revealed that while there were many races in California in 2005, I could find none for 2007-07. At least as far as I can tell.
How do I find out about races in my area?

MrC, The Sacramento Bicycle Kithcen is having a CX Clinic in Sept just before the racing season starts. PM me or check our www.sacbikekitchen.org for more details. There should be many CX racers there.

I was talking to a friend who rides cyclocross for the Lapierre-Ritchey team yesterday and, remembering this thread, asked him about the NorCal race schedule. He mentioned Pilarcitos (https://www.pilarcitos.com/BASPS.htm), Velo Bella (www.velobella.com) who are putting on the Surf City Series, and Yahoo! groups - bayareacyclocross as some places to get further info.
