Cycling Awards  Well, we have our Reader‚s Choice Cycling Awards form ready to roll - check back tomorrow and you will be able to register your vote. Voting is open until December 9th, 8:00 pm EST, so get your vote in. By the way, votong is open ALL of our readers - not just the Canadian ones... We will announce the overall winner, the top male and top female Canadian riders, as selected by you, on December 11th.  The Commonwealth Centre for Sport Development, and the Canadian Cycling Association will be holding their own Awards Gala in Victoria, B.C. on December 11th. The Reception starts at 6:00 pm, with dinner at 7 and the Awards presentation at 8:30. Among those in attendance will be canadian cycling greats Alison Sydor, Linda Jackson, Tanya Dubnicoff, Roland Green and Andreas Hestler. In addition, Canadian cycling legends Steve Bauer and Curt Harnett will be on hand. This event is open to all interested cyclists, so contact (250) 744-3583 to reserve your seat. (We will have full report of the activities, in case you can‚t attend because your tux is at the cleaners...)   OCA AGM  For those who are still unsure of where and when the Ontario Cycling Association Annual General Meeting is - it is in Kingston this coming Saturday (November 22nd), at City Hall, beginning at 4:30 pm. Earlier in the day, a series of Touring and advocacy workshops will be held (beginning at 9:00 am), with Date Fixing meetings for Road and Mountain Bike taking place from 1:00-3:00 pm.   Ontario Provincial `Cross Championships  Provincials are rescheduled for Sunday 23rd to take place at Albion Hills Conservation Area - the already scheduled event for that day. Time noon as before. Since there is not time for a separate Citizen's event, the officials have decided to let those people from out of province or with illegal bikes have a ride BUT they will start 2-3 minutes after the championship riders under the firm instruction that they do not impede the championship riders and they yield at all times.   Cyclo-cross Nationals Registration (from the organizer)  Now that the postal strike seems to be in effect, can we post again the information that anyone who registers through you, by e-mail to me or by fax before 24th Nov. can still be considered entered for the $25 fee. After that it is up to $30. The address for the website is: Cross Nationals   Classifieds and Links  If you haven‚t been to the Classifieds in a while, it may be time to do so - at least 12 new postings have gone up in the last 24 hours. The Links area has also seen some activity, with many new sites listed. If you want to post a Link or Classified, just go to the appropriate section and send in your request (unlike the Post office, we don‚t go on strike...).
