Oh it is that time. Yep, registration is open. The technical guide is available. Oh yah, it’s time to start thinking about Canadian Cyclo-Cross Nationals. This will be a double weekend with the the nationals on Saturday Oct. 11 and the Jim Horner Grand Prix on Oct. 12.

All the information is available here.

Get your bikes ready. Practice your running. Fine-tune your top end. It is ‘cross time!

The cyclo-cross schedule you’ve been waiting for is now posted. Check out the Eastern Ontario Cyclocross Series.

This is an excellent race series run by some very dedicated volunteers. The OBC series is where I was first introduced to cyclo-cross. If you are looking for a welcoming and friendly race atmosphere – this is it. The courses are well laid out and are 100 per cent safe (no worries of crazy descents!). There is something for everyone in the Eastern Ontario Series.

Please go to the registration evenings at The Cyclery. This will make things much easier for everyone involved on race day.

Massive shout out to Bob, Cheryl, and Ian for organizing this series for us again this year. Remember to say thank-you after your race (and help out by picking up a few flags and barriers!).

Here’s to an awesome Ottawa series. My favorite part about this race series is the kids – I love watching the little guys zoom around the course and drag their bikes over the barriers. Definitely inspiring!
