Whether you’ve hung up your bikes for this year, or are planning on peaking for a strong second half of domestic racing, you can already start planning your next season’s chase for UCI points. Cyclocross Magazine got an exclusive, early view into next year’s domestic UCI Schedule, and despite the upcoming increase in promoter’s minimum payouts, we’ll have more UCI races next season.

While this is just a preliminary schedule, our initial count shows seven more UCI races on tap for 2009.

Of note is that the USGP adds the Planet Bike Cup weekend in late September, the weekend after Cross Vegas. For racers chasing both series, it’ll be a busy nine days, with the NACT opening weekend in Seattle, Cross Vegas on Wednesday, and the Planet Bike Cup the following weekend. Will this be enough racing to attract the Europeans even without a World Cup? We’ll see.

Also new to the calendar is a Wednesday night race in New York City with the Empire State CX race.
