Bayside Cyclocross #1, BC Cross #3
The first Bayside Cyclocross, race # 3 in BC Cross Series, was held under cool, dry conditions in Crescent Park. 65 participants competed in 3 categories. The course was fast and physically challenging.
In the Men B race, a group of about five stayed together for most of the race until Dawson managed to create a gap in the final laps. In the Women's race, Spencer took a large advantage from the start and easily maintained it. Spectators of the Men A race saw a dual between Pinfold and Britton until Pinfold pulled away with two laps to go.

Bow Fietscross, held in beautiful sunny weather at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, on October 2nd

The weather was perfect for a race held mainly on the grass. The location was a new one for Calgary, on the Campus of SAIT Polytechnic right smack dab in the inner city. The combination of course, location and weather saw the highest turnout for a Bow Cycle cyclocross race since the Canadian national championship in 2000.
Competitors enjoyed an paved uphill start/finish, a slightly downhill 800 m pavement section to recover, or to hammer and try to make a gap on followers and a challenging course. The grassy course twisted and turned throwing off camber sections, high speed barriers, and a leg busting one two hill running punch at the racers.
Look for a bigger, and even better event for 2006. Tell your friends!
