A week ago i recall being shocked that prize purse for Elite cats @ Nationals was a whopping $700 between both genders. http://cyclocross.cyclingbc.net/prize-purse-added-for-the-top-finishers-at-the-canadian-cyclo-cross-championships-in-surrey-bc/
I thought "surely Nationals should offer enough value and exposure to potential sponsors to generate more than $700??
Wasn't aware at that time who the organizer was but was blown away that they were putting out a presser announcing a $700 purse split between the 6 fastest riders in the country.
Then we see in this article that the organizer is turning down additional prize $$?
Truly bizarre.
