HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.—The final two days of racing on the East Coast for the USA Cycling Professional Cyclocross Calendar (ProCX) take place this weekend, Dec. 8-9, in Hendersonville, N.C. with Category 2 events at the Hunter Subaru North Carolina Grand Prix (NCGP) at Jackson Park.

Jackson Park offers varied terrain and a new climb this year. Hendersonville is located on a plateau between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains. Blowing into the mountain town just in time for ProCX races on Saturday was Diego, a one-name storm packing a punch for several days of big snow, expected to be measured in feet.

Lily Williams (Asheville, N.C./The Pony Shop), last year’s silver medalist in the Saturday contest, took her first ProCX win of the season in the Elite Women’s contest. On the Elite Men’s side, Kerry Werner (Birdsboro, Penn./Kona Maxxis Shimano), who is the overall ProCX leader, gained his eighth ProCX victory of the year. He won both days at NCGP last year.

The temperatures hovered just above freezing Saturday afternoon, with dry conditions for the course pre-rides. At 2,200 feet above sea level, snow began to fall about one hour before 23 Elite Women took the course, making the track greasy.

Full results below. Stay tuned for a full report and photos from the racing.
