See you all at Halloween At The Harbour

Four Frames!

PRIZE UPDATE:
With the help of Olympia Cycle on Portage the prize list has been revised. I'm pleased to announce we have a fourth frame set (choice of XS or small Surly CrossCheck or Redline Conquest) so now we have the whole range from XS to XL covered.

CrossTastic Seeding

Seeding lists for Sunday's race. Riders have earned their starting positions. All riders must start in their seeded position. Moving up on the start line will result in disqualification.

Riders not listed in either list must start at the back of the B start. Appeals to start in the A race based on out of province race results should be made to the Cyclocross coordinator (Gary Sewell) well ahead of the B race.

Frames Are In

The frames are in and they are suhweeet! Great dark blue metallic paint job. Great details: integrated headset with brake cable guide included, flattened top tube for easy shouldering, top mounted cables, light and strong carbon fibre fork with alloy steerer, beautiful wields...  I must be crazy. If they weren't too big for me I might keep them all.

Super Cool News

The bad news is no jerseys up for grab this year. The good news is they have been replaced by three, count them, THREE CYCLOCROSS FRAMES. Alloy Ridley with carbon fork. Sizes 52, 54, and 56 which in Ridley terms are a medium, large, and XL. I'm 5'10 and ride a 54 road bike. The 52 Ridley is perfect for me. Chris Ashley and Terry Macyk ride something like 58-60 road bikes and use the 56 Ridley. I couldn't get a small, but the top end TRP brakes are still up for grabs too.

It could be your first bike, your back up bike (look at how many bikes broke at CMU and LaBarriere and St. Malo and...), you could give it to a friend, or get your partner involved. Think of the possibilities!

Cross-Tastic 2010

Cross-Tastic 2010 takes place at Whittier Park October 24, 2010. It's the biggest party of cross season.

If there's enough firm interest I will consider supplementary insurance so anyone can race, including children (no licence needed), but only with firm commitments.

Up for grabs:

-AUTOGRAPHED COPY of Cyclocross Training & Technique by Simon Burney

-another pair of crazy light, crazy effective, crazy expensive Euro-X brakes

-cross jerseys in a full range of sizes
-much more

Again, european hot dogs and hot chocolate for racers and spectators.
