Sunday - Last Cross Race of the Season

Post by Roland »

Come race 'cross on Sunday or forever hold your peace.

Last race of the season is at Shawnigan Lake School. Not as much mud as the last races, but it will still be as much fun. Lots of prizes including a draw prize of a Kona Major One cross bike.

Free vegan chili for the racers! $1 a bowl for spectators!

How can you say no? You can't.

Anyone else able to bring kids? I'm working on mine; since the course will be less Vimy, more Vroomy, it should work for new kids better. Mtb's are fine.

Norm will seperate the races if there are enough, but he didn't say how many that would be.

Sounds like we should have a good crew out: Lister, Jen, Ian, Rita, Josh, Katie & I. Possibly others.

I've also got 3 or 4 friends coming out to race beginner, so that race should have a decent turnout as well.

I just can see why you'd have any reason not to race.

Awesome! After his last race report, I never thought I'd see him anywhere near a 'cross bike again.

I got a Ridley X-Ride. I'll tell you the whole story when I see you.

Can anyone lend me an easter egg jersey for Sunday?

Sure! Can't promise a sale in the near future though.

If I join TS before Sunday, can I race as Easter Egg too? :P Peter, have you had the chance to sort out the new memberships yet?

In which case, can I borrow somebody's small jersey please?

yes you can Rita, the more Easter Eggs the better! I have the waivers from you and Ian I just need the membership app forms plus $20 each and you are good until Dec 31, 2010 (you still need insurance but that is through Cycling BC)

Does anybody have a smallish jersey that I could make muddy on Sunday, please? That would be awesome. I'll even wash it before giving it back :wink: .

Actually, we also have something to offer :) . We can give a lift to 2 people plus 1 bike. We're planning to be out at Shawnigan Lake by 10ish. Let us know if you'd like to get a ride.
