Cyclocros Provincials 2010/2011

It's only two weeks till the 2010/2011 cyclocross provincials. I hope you're all sharpening your teeth and oiling the chain for the battle. Normally people go to Windsor Park to play golf or to ski, but this time it will be the venue for Manitoba CX provincials. The course will be bit hard and a tad technical, when it's dry, and quite a bit tougher if we get snow.

The partners have really stepped up and with the help of Woodcock Cycle Works, Kona, Chrome, Felt, Giant, Lambert and Norco have been secured as the sponsors for this race. Oh yeah...there will be the glory and medals up for grabs as well.

See below for more details.
