ZM CX races Sunday the 4th and 11th

ZM Cycle & Fitness is proud to present the 4th annual Oktoberfest and Turkey Cyclocross races.

 

The Oktoberfest will be held on Sunday October 4th at Wallace Emerson Park and the Turkey Cross will be held on Sunday October 11th at Cedarvale Park.

 

You can expect a mostly flat, very tight and twisty course at the Oktoberfest(4th Oct.) and a hard up and down course with lots of off camber at Cedarvale(11th).  The latter is the location where the 2010 CYCLOCROSS NATIONALS will be held.   

YOU CAN PREREGISTER WITH A DISCOUNT ON THE OCA WEBSITE.

 

Back in the first inauguration year 2005, the Oktoberfest was won by Nathan Chown in the Elite men’s race, Paul Green won the Master A class and Maogosha Pyjor won the Elite women’s race.

After much "concern" was voiced over the Ziggy's courses of the past few years, I for one look forward to seeing what this year will bring. Thanks Stephane!

 


Just a heads up, Wallace

Just a heads up, Wallace Emerson Park is where the city allowed a BMX pump track to be built. So be prepared for the unexpected. Plus if I recall correctly the park isn't exactly big. Oh yeah, and remember to pack your appropriate pre race and post race carbohydrate malt beverage.

So why the move from Earl

So why the move from Earl Bales? New park is pretty puny. == Legalize sHEMP==

Nice job with the course, Stephane! I think you put just about every square foot of that park to good use.

Agreed, I liked the combination of off camber, straight sections and climbing a lot. It was really quite clever how you achieved some of that.
