Details here http://www.cyclocross.org/ Cross is a fun way to maintain fitness into the fall. It challenges fitness, bike handling skills and is fun to do. Cross races are cheap to participate, one hour long and all the races on the schedule are a 1 hour drive or less. A decent cross bike can be purchased for $1K. Some people use mtb's and you may even be able to use an old roadbike if you can put bigger tires on it. Thanks to Roy for setting up one of the races in our own backyard (Memorial Center). Nothing like being able to ride to a race! Next week (night TBD), we can begin doing cross ride how-to's (by cross master Baz) and fun/training loops at the Memorial center. Peter Reply New message (in this thread) New thread Author: Peter Date: Sep 23 - 2:32 PM A few of us meeting at Memorial Hill Thursday for a cross ride and to discuss matters regarding the OBC series Brockville Cyclocross race. 6:00 ish meeting time. Come early or late, we will be there. Loops are short. If you don't have a cross bike, use an mtb, or even try a road bike if you want.
