- Emerald City Cyclocross crowns 2004 champions!
The Emerald City Cyclocross Series wrapped up another fabulous season December 5th at North SeaTac. On a cold and muddy day befitting the first week of December 330 riders contested the final race of this year's series. With double points on the line the stakes were high and the racing intense. Congratulations to all our champions and thank you to each of the 797 racers that made it out to one or more of our events. We are especially appreciative of our sponsor's support this year - Thank You!

- Track season wraps up
It's been a great season of racing at the Group Health Friday Night Track Racing series. The final week of racing was very exciting with all the top contenders fighting to hold or improve their standings in the overall series. In the Cat 1,2 field Kenny Williams maintained his almost insurmountable lead to finish first. Amy Wallace held off a charging Amara Boursaw for the win. And in the closest finish of the series - Brad Lewis barely edged out rising star Todd Schroeder in the Cat 3 field. We would like to thank all who made this series a success - the racers, our volunteers, our spectators, and especially our sponsors - Group Health, Gregg's Cycles, Sports Etc. & New Belgium Brewing. See you in the spring!
As many of our members know, the Marymoor Velodrome Association functions only through the efforts of our volunteer workforce. We are currently in need of additional volunteers to help run many existing and developing programs. Among other things, we have immediate needs for data entry help, page design, and all aspects of running our racing and training events. E-mail Harley Sheffield if you can contribute.
