BCC to host Sunnidale Cross Race!!
It’s with great pleasure and optimism that we proudly announce the first annual Sunnidale Cross Race, to take place on Sunday November 4, 2007 at Sunnidale Park in Barrie!
In case you’re not sure what Cyclo-cross is all about, here’s a definition:
It’s a short-circuit multiple lap race lasting one hour-plus-one-lap [or less] over a variety of terrain including, but not limited to, grass, dirt and singletrack. Courses are designed to for riders to dismount and run [over obstacles, etc.] at least twice per lap [and up to four times]. Courses are usually 2.5-4 km in length. cyclo-cross is raced in the fall and winter, when conditions are typically very bad. It evolved out of a winter training regimen for road racers that emerged in the low countries and northern france after the second world war. the best way to describe it is a steeplechase for bikes.
We are extremely excited to bring this kind of racing right into the city of Barrie, we look forward to seeing many of you there on November 4th!
