Downhill at Ontario Cup #1 Cancelled at Lakeridge

We have officially cancelled the first Ontario Cup Downhill of the season due to the overuse of snowmaking on the ski runs, and nature's slow spring thaw. It was decided that cancelling the downhill race was the best decision to make. We apologize for any inconvenience, however all funds sent into us for the downhill will be returned.

The x-country race on Sunday, April 29 is on and you can pick up your registration forms off of our website at www.chicoracing.com That course will be dry and fast for the most part, as snowmaking wasn't done on the x-country ski trails. We look forward to seeing you at the first Ontario Cup of the season.

Aztech Kingston Grand Prix Date Change

Aztech Associates Inc. of Kingston Ontario is pleased to announce its continued involvement with elite amateur cycling for the 2001 road season as the title sponsor of the Aztech Kingston Grand Prix.

This 2 day, three stage race is currently on the OCA calendar for June 16th and 17th. Due to a direct conflict with the Preston Stree Crit in Ottawa, we will not be holding our race on this weekend.

The race will still take place, but will change dates to the 21st and 22nd of July. (Good news also for local boy Ray Duggan who will be busy getting married on the 16th and 17th).

Please mark this one on your calendars and plan to come out.

Thanks
Lee Fraser

New Products in CC Store

We have added a bunch of new stuff to the CC Store, including a full range of saddles, disc-compatible wheels, clothing and rollers (going in later today). We have added Canadian Cyclist subscriptions in the 'Other' category. We also still have a few copies of the Graham Watson 2001 Pro Cycling calendar available for the low price of $12.95 (less than half regular price) - in the Blowouts section.

If you haven't been to the CC Store for a while, be sure to check it out.
