Mathias Farm 'Cross Cancelled - Ontario

We at the SCCC regret to inform that the Mathias Farm Cyclocross race scheduled for this weekend (November 2nd) will have to be cancelled. Permission to access the farm was delayed and ultimately refused due to family committments. At this late date it would be impossible to find an alternative course due to permissions and insurance. Of note - this race was initally not a SCCC event and was picked up and revived, almost. We will endeavour to put it back on in 2004.


2004 Road Nationals

We have learned that a strong bid to host the 2004 Road Nationals has been put in by the B.C. city of Kamloops. Edmonton was the initial choice, but withdrew. The CCA is reviewing the bid.


U.S. Olympic Trials Clarification

Andy Lee, Director of Communications for USA Cycling, has confirmed that the U.S. Olympic Trials, scheduled for June 16-19 in Redlands, California, will be open to U.S. riders only.
