The Oakville Cycling Club and its Race Committee members regretfully announce that the OCA-sanctioned Citizen Criterium scheduled for July 17, 2005 in downtown Oakville has been cancelled for 2005. Sponsorship and club resource limitation concerns have forced the organizers to withdraw this event from the 2005 summer schedule; they intend to promote and operate a downtown event in Oakville in the summer of 2006.


Composite Team for Tour de Beauce

Individual riders looking to ride at the 2005 Tour de Beauce and needing to find a team are asked to contact Duncan Seko duseko@videotron.ca. Duncan is assembling a composite team and is looking for riders.
