On Sunday, November 8th, the Barrie Cycling Club will be hosting its 3rd Annual Barrie Cyclo-Cross Race.
Again this year the event will be held at Hardwood Ski & Bike, a short 15 minute drive north of Barrie. We were fortunate to secure Hardwood as a location for the event and a course has been laid out that we’re sure will be a hit with both seasoned and novice cross racers alike. Hardwood has been the site of numerous provincial and national level events and was the site of Cross Nationals in 2005.
Registration opens at 8a.m and closes 30 minutes prior to each race start. The course will be open for pre-riding after 8am on Nov. 8th.
PLEASE NOTE: One day licenses will be available for this event at a cost of $5. They can be purchased at the time of registration.
Cost of the event is $25 pre-registered, and $30 day of registration for all categories other than Junior and Under 17. For these categories the cost is $20 pre-registered and $25 day of event. All riders are encouraged to pre-register, either through the OCA website or by calling Hardwood Ski and Bike at 705-487-3775.
Race starts will be as follows:
10 a.m. – Under 17; Senior 3/4 Male; Beginner Male; Master 3 Male
11:30 a.m. – Junior (17-18) Male& Female; Senior Female; Beginner Female; Master Female; Master 2 Male
1 p.m. – Senior 1/2/3 Male; Master 1 Male
There will be a cash purse for Senior 1/2/3 Male & Senior Female, along with great merchandise prizes for all other categories. Awards will be held immediately following the completion of each race start.
The course is approximately 2.5kms in length and offers a great mix of the terrain features at Hardwood Ski & Bike. There are fast sections of grass and doubletrack, combined with numerous technical, twisty and bermed sections, 1 double barrier, one run-up and a short, sandy dismount. The course then ducks into the woods for 2 fast sections.
This course is guaranteed to be a hit for all levels of rider, from beginner to expert.
