Number Handout At The Belgian Club
As in previous years, there will be a number handout at the Belgian Club on Thursday September 4th from 7 till approx 9 pm. Chips for the new timing system will also be assigned. Avoid a lot of race day frustration by doing this on Thursday and you can enjoy a cool Belgian beer at the same time if you wish. It's a great social kick-off to the season and if you've got questions for the cross coordinator, cross committee members, or commissaires this is the perfect opportunity.
Cross Labs 2014
The one and only CrossLabs returns for 2014.
Everyone is invited to free, fun cyclocross clinics at Canadian Mennonite University, 500 Shaftesbury Blvd, 6:30-8:30 p.m. The clinics will involve skills and drills designed to challenge all abilities. If you are new to the sport and aiming to try an event this season or if you've got experience and are aiming to improve - these sessions are for you.
Dates: Sept 10 and 24th 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m
All sessions will be held at CMU. Parking is available in the lot north of the large university building (or come by bike - lots of great bike routes nearby!).

2014 Equipment Rules
Please note that for 2014 all riders in the A and B events (CX1/2 Men, CX3 Men, and CX1/2/3 Women) must have a cyclocross style bike (tires max 34 mm wide, road style handlebars NOT straight bars, max width of bars 50 cm). This requirement is still more liberal than the UCI standard.
In 2009 and 2010 the cyclocross committee published rules outlining that all categories except the lowest would require a cyclo-cross bike. A lot of time has been given for riders to adapt to the equipment rules. Riders in the C event (CX4 men, CX4 women, and citizen racers) will still be allowed to use mountain bikes that conform to UCI MTB standards (i.e. no bar ends, no studded tires, at least two functioning brakes, no aero bars, etc.)
Note that to participate in Nationals all bikes will have to conform to UCI standards, the most obvious difference with ours being a max tire width of 33mm.

Number Hand In/Deposit Return
Sunday, we'll be collecting numbers after people race and handing back deposits. Same area as registration.
Numbers should be returned without pins in them. (We will launder them on return.)
We'll be around for only a short time after the 60 minute race, so riders should make a note to return them immediately after their race.
If you can't make it to The Forks on Sunday anyone can bring your numbers in for you.

Beach Cross!
Notes from OCC about Beach Cross:
We are very excited to see you at St. Malo Provincial Park for Beach Cross this Sunday!
All pre-registered racers will receive goodies from our presenting sponsors---
Fresh espresso shot from Parlour Coffee
Pastry goodness from Jonnies Sticky Buns
Extra shots/buns available for purchase - cash only.
The 2013 course keeps the best of last year (see you on Heckler's Hill) and adds in some new features including an uphill finish. If you're spectating, dress for the elements - the breeze off the lake can be cool.
See you at the beach!

September 25th CrossLab - final session for 2013
September 25th will be the final CrossLab of 2013 - your last chance for free, fun skills and drills that will get you ready to try 'cross for the first time or improve your racing. Hal & Daniel will lead a shortened one-hour session this week (on account of the increasingly early darkness) that will walk through the course for MennoCross with some opportunities to preview a few of the tricky bits and get some extra practice in.
If you're planning on coming, might be a good call to bring bug spray - there were a surprising number of mosquitoes last week.

CX101 Report
Huge thanks to lead instructor Michael Van Den Ham, assistants David Coughlin and Jayson Gillespie and to sponsors Olympia Cycling Club, Jonnies Sticky Buns, CMU and BikeReg.com for a fantastic clinic today. Thirty riders ranging from age 14 to 50+ and from total newbies to top provincial riders came out - and everyone took away something. (Photo shows one of the rare non-riding parts of the clinic).
