This is cross! Cross is Boss! Are you?

Hal Loewen -
The season starts off on Sunday, August 30th with Manitoba Cyclocross #1, brought to you by the Olympia Cycling Club. We're trying an new venue at Crescent Drive Park which should be a fast course.For those who do not have an MCA license and want to give cyclocross a try all you need to do is buy the MCA citizen license and we'll let you into the race for free! For that matter, you will get into all remaining races* for free (excluding the Provincial championships) with a citizen’s license. To help you get ready for your first cyclocross experience a group of experienced racers will be offering a free clinic on the ins and outs of cyclocross at the race site starting at 2:00.

Feeling good, and strong... rode the last 1/2 hour in middleX16... on a squishy.. can you guess what I'm excited about? My blog will tell you. See you at the first cx race, I think I'm too excited for cross to goto Sask MTB provs.

  5. And only the slow guys walk...

    With Cross comes trash talk. However, there is a price for admission into the singles club young man. I am a garbage collection and I will take out the trash! Bring it on!!!

    PS. Glad you are feeling better, planning on doing the cross races, and hopefully will be able to walk some hills at xc8.ca ;)
